LI: the lower type, support basic 2 level protocol such as MAC, VLAN, support static routing.
SI: standard type, support basic 2 level protocol, static routing and rip route protocol.
EI: enhanced type, in the basis of SI, support various unicast and multicast routing protocol RIP, OSPF, ISIS, BGP, PIM, IGMP as well as simple VRRP reliability technology.
HI: higher type, in the basis of EI, support reliability technical BFD and MPLS, L2L3VPN technology, etc.
