Jason,
If you have a CAT 5500 and they suggest a new SUP... they are referring to
the first board the sup engine... IT is hardware... but in a 5500 you want a
sup 3 not a sup 1...  The 5500 has 3 back plane's that are 1.2 gig each...
only the sup 3 will aggregate those into a combined 3.6 gig back plane
(Market Math).    The sup 3 contains a phoenix chip that does this
aggregation.  Even with the market math there... the sup 3 is far superior
for your box and gives you it true best speed.

Hi Group, just have a quick question.  I have a cat 5500 currently has a
Supervisor Engine I.  If someone tells me I need Supervisor Engine II, is he
talking about software or hardware?  How am I going about changing it to
Supervisor Engine II?  Thanks.
