No, we can't always run it in switch mode. Switch mode requires loading
of different firmware. The switch firmware only supports switch
operations. If the ports are not in a bridge in switch mode, the normal
functionalities will not work. We will not be able to send / receive /
forward packets in switch mode without bridge.
When device is booted up, the dual EMAC firmware is loaded and ICSSG
works in dual EMAC mode with both ports doing independent TX / RX.
When switch mode is enabled, dual EMAC firmware is unloaded and switch
firmware is loaded. The ports become part of the bridge and the two port
together acts as a switch.
