OK, here are the specs for that particular switch:

Switch#sh ver | incl Soft|65
Cisco IOS Software, s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-ADVIPSERVICESK9_WAN-M),
Version 12.2(33)SXI3, RELE
ASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
cisco WS-C6509-E (R7000) processor (revision 1.2) with 458720K/65536K bytes
of memory.
65536K bytes of Flash internal SIMM (Sector size 512K).

Tried this on another switch as well, this time a CBS3020-HPQ, same results:

Switch2#show snmp mib ifmib ifindex | incl Po
Port-channel1: Ifindex = 5001
Port-channel2: Ifindex = 5002
P10-D03-EDGE-SW155#sh spanning-tree int po1 detail
 Port 56 (Port-channel1) of VLAN0002 is root forwarding
(...)

Switch2#sh ver | incl Soft|odel
Cisco IOS Software, CBS30X0 Software (CBS30X0-LANBASE-M), Version
12.2(37)SE1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Model revision number           : D0
Model number                    : WS-CBS3020-HPQ

Perhaps the numbers are correlated in a way, in the sense that one derives
from the other, however I am only guessing at this point :-p

Regards, Atle
