The IBM 8265 is a good switch. It was not OEMed from Xylan (that was the IBM 8274 /
Xylan Omniswitch) with the 8265 you would also need the MSS for ATM/LANE
configurations.
There is a config tool available for both and it actually looks like the 2216 router
config tool, with the addition of Switching, ATM, and LANE added to it. Same look and
feel.
