Hi Anthony, I replied to Joe's question but didn't hit "reply all" so it didn't make it to the list. Here was what I wrote a few minutes ago, hopefully it's helpful.
There is no such command, unfortunately. The NM-ESW switches were very rudimentary in their function. Only 802.1D (OK, technically 802.1D-1998) is supported. They also don't do ISL (I don't think), DTP, or any of a variety of other Catalyst features. I suspect that's why Cisco moved to the later design model of the NME and now the ES2/ES3 switch modules that are really a 3750/3560 switch-on-a-card that is separately administered and configured, rather than the NM-style that just added switchports to an IOS software router. It was probably one way to get those features in without having to implement all those protocols for router IOS. There is a lot that is lost when trying to do switching labs with a pure Dynamips setup. One option is a hybrid lab setup, as described here: http://blog.ipexpert.com/2011/02/28/gns3-and-physical-switches-breakout-switch/ I've built something similar to this design and it works great. Emulated IOS for the routers, real Catalyst switches for that end of things (I presently use 2x3550 and 2x3560 with a 3750 breakout switch).
