Intra-Sector L2 Forwarding: This feature supports layer 2 network connectivity
between subscribers in a single sector (hair-pinning).
Important: Refer to section 7.2.4: Intra-Sector L2 Forwarding on page 111 for more
information about configuring and using iSL2F feature.
Disabled Mode: When the Intra-Sector L2 Forwarding feature is disabled, the base
station will not forward traffic between subscribers (hairpinning) and will not accept
traffic resubmitted to the Ethernet port by an external switch.
External Mode: When external mode selected, the base station accepts traffic
resubmitted to the Ethernet port. This permits an external switch to forward traffic
between hosts located behind subscribers in the same sector.
Internal Mode: When internal mode is enabled, the base station classifies and
forwards traffic between hosts located behind subscribers in the same sector
(hairpinning) without requiring an external switch. Subscriber traffic arriving at the
