A switching device for Ethernet-based fieldbuses include a primary interface and at least two secondary interfaces, a plurality of protocol modules, a recognition module and at least two first selection elements assigned to the at least two secondary terminals. The protocol modules are configured to provide switching and/or routing functionality according to one of a plurality of protocols. The recognition module is configured to recognize predetermined type values in Ethernet frames, to generate predetermined selection signals and, when one of the predetermined type values is recognized in a first Ethernet frame, to generate the selection signal that indicates the protocol assigned to the recognized type value. The selection elements comprise at least two first selection elements which are each in electrical connection with the at least two secondary interfaces.
