Zusammenfassung:	A system and method are disclosed for a flexible routing engine in a PCIe switch. The system may include a switch manager that is enabled, through firmware, to configure one or more routing tables associated with a switch stack of a PCIe switch. The method may include receiving a configuration transaction layer packet at the switch manager of a PCIe switch, running firmware at the switch manager to identify a desired behavior of a switch stack of the switch and updating one or more routing tables associated with switch stack.
