That would be a shame if it were true, as CatOS, for the platform it runs, is a far superior operating system IMHO. Far more intuitive, scaleable and flexible. I'd hate to see it go. I've implemented quite a few of the Cat6xxxs and I've never had a customer request Native IOS on the box, so I unfortunately have not seen it first hand. Have to try that pre-deployment on the next one. :) Chris Supino CCNP, CCDP, MCSE, CNA5, ASE Senior Network Design Engineer TransNet Corporation -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael L.

Re: CCIE One-Day Lab layout [7:18246] (without trying to piss off people that have spent money on a 5000) I sure hope they move the lab to the 6500 series....... my 2 cents. The 6500 can have 2 modes..... a Hybrid IOS, where the switch side of things is run by the Cat OS and the MSFC is run by the IOS. Under that setup, you would use the SET commands to configure the switch and IOS commands to configure the MSFC. The other mode is Native IOS, in which the switch and RSM are "combined" into a single router-esque unit. In Native IOS, you use IOS commands to configure the MSFC/switch, but there are little "CatOS-like" extensions to the IOS command to let you configure ports as switchports (instead of like router interfaces). I've heard many people say that Cisco is really pushing to get away from CatOS, so it wouldn't surprise me to see them use a 6500 running Native IOS in the lab..... just a guess tho. Mike W.
