Thanks that last bit of information was what I was looking for.. Not to mention with the SUP IV and advanced routing protocols you need a different IOS that lists for $9995.00.. We do use EGIRP here however I don't see a need for the switch to maintain the full routing table.. I am leaning towards the SUP II+.. From everything I read it has the same QOS and per port filtering as the SUP IV..

The SupII+ can be used redundantly and can do (basic) L3 SupII+switching. The difference between the Sup4 and the SupII+ is that the Sup4 can handle advanced routing protocols (anything beyond RIP) and has more processing power, RAM, and flash, and can therefore handle more adjacency entries, more VLANs, etc. etc. If you can get away with just using static routes and/or RIP and you're not pushing your switch very much, then you could save money by getting the SupII+. I know some guys who are using the SupII+ and they report no issues. I have a number of people report issues with the Sup4. > > >>> "Johns, John A." 07/11/03 12:14PM >>> > Wanted to get some feedback from some folks that are using either the > Sup > II+ card or the Sup IV card.. > > There is over a $3,000.00 difference in cost.. > > Anybody using the SUP II+?
