the scenario described for the routed mode, explains that </div>

someone explain to me why doesn't the switch accept the

Because the people who have administrative control over the switch
have configured it that way. (Of course, if they're that
restrictive, it's doubtful that they would allocate an entire subnet
to a customer's machine, and reconfigure their routing tables to
deal with it).<br>
