If you want the entire switch (as opposed to specific ports) to act as L2
rather than L3, then typing "switchport" under all interfaces should do it
(I think that should be default. you can do 'no switchport' for those you do
want to be L3).

I believe the whole point of a layer 3 switch is that it has routing<br>
capabilities i.e. acts as a router. If you want to disable this then I<br>
guess you can just type the command:<br>
<br>
no ip routing<br>
<br>
