Yes but I wonder how much the v4 customers on that switch will appreciate it the day someone gets a DoS or even tries to do an FTP over IPv6. :) FastE is more than enough to do in a 3550 CPU. Then again it's a lot easier than moving the v6 requesters to 3560s, and besides doing dual-stack on 3560s does bad things to your available v4 TCAM. Some things you just can't win. -- Richard A Steenbergen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC) _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
