Configuring Local Switching

<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> We recommend that you shut down all of the ports on the module before you execute the local switching 
command.<br />
<br />
If local switching is enabled, then ports cannot be configured in dedicated mode. <br />
<br />
If there are dedicated ports and you enter the local switching command, a warning is displayed and the 
operation is prevented.
