NOTE
By default, the 9A128-01 perform traditional switching (or bridging). Firmware version
2.10.13 and earlier do not support the ability to select SecureFast switching; if you have a
later version of firmware, check your hardware manuals to see if your version of firmware
supports this feature. The toggle from traditional bridging to SecureFast switching is
performed via Local Management; see your Local Management documentation for details.
Bridging-related windows will not be available for devices which have been configured for
SecureFast switching.
