For anyone interested, here's some info we got from TAC regarding the Win XP/Catalyst 5000 issue Determining the EARL can be a bit tricky, and it really depends on which supervisor you are running. - If you have a Supervisor I, it will be an EARL 1. - WS-X5509, WS-X5506, WS-X5505 are all EARL1+ based. - If the front label says just "Supervisor III" or "Supervisor IIIF" then it's probably EARL1++ (unless it has been field upgraded) - If the Supervisor III has not been field upgraded, and the front panel reads "Supervisor III w/ NFFC", then it is an EARL2. - You can look at a "show mod" from the switch, and if you are running 4.4(1) or higher, it will show an NFFCII (WS-F553) at the bottom. This is an EARL3. Dave H -----Original Message----- From: Jason J.
