Does RB450G have a switch chip?

I looked in the data sheet and it lists eth2 ↔ eth3 at only 650mbps which means it’s going through software? Or does this mean routed speed?

I would like to use RB450G eth2-eth5 as full gigabit rate switch ports without it affecting the performance of the routing out of eth1. Is this possible?

The rb450g can switch ether2 to ether5 and have full gigabit rate

Awesome, thanks.
