Ray,
I have also purchased 3500 equipment and have found that the current
12.5.2.XU vers of the IOS has worked well with clustering and command line
as well as web based commands and setups including 802.1q. We have even
setup a mock lab and have not seen any issues. We will be introducing the
6509 MSFC1 dual switch processors to the mix next with the IOS software.
On the 6509 we thought the CAT OS would be too hard to learn. Make sure
(via our Cisco se) to be using the 12.1.1.E2 code. I have on order the
MFSC2 's but will not get them till late Oct.
Let me know if you wish me to give you the results.
regards,
Steve Clevenger
