the 3550 in the lab has the ability to support routing as well as switching. That means the lab test may ask you to configure any routing/qos/switching configs on the 3550...the 2950 does not support the routing side of it...

[7:66106] OK..now you guys are confusing me because I have ordered the 2950T-24 with EMI...and your blurb here SEEMS to state that it supports what I THINK I will need...am I missing something? Not that I can afford a 3550 with the EMI, I just wanted to know if there is anything really different between the 2950T with EMI and the 3550 as included in the lab. ..I feel so doomed :) I appreciate all the replies and especially the links!
