Here's what I found so far, if anybody wants to fill in a few blanks... Cat 4000/5000/6000 Aquired with Crescendo uses XDI/CatOS
Cat 3000 Aquired with Kalpana menu (although I don't know if you can bypass the menu to enter commands) Cat 1900/2800 Aquired with Grand Junction Menu (although I THINK you can bypass the menu to enter commands) Cat 2900XL Cisco Internal development IOS-like Cat 8500 Cisco Internal development No idea what the CLI looks like, but Clark's book seems in indicate that it was developed with the CatOS in mind... --- Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Leigh Anne Chisholm To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12/17/2001 3:37 PM Subject: RE: Switch types for BCMSN [7:29391] By the way Dennis - if you truly want to find the demarcation point, search all of Cisco's old press releases. You'll find the origins of each switch and understand the different OS supported by each. I found it fascinating research when I did it... -- Leigh Anne -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dennis Laganiere Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 11:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Switch types for BCMSN [7:29391] I'm trying to sort out once-and-for-all where the demarcation line is between families of switches. Here's what I've got so far: IOS-Based Cat 1900 series Cat 2820 series Cat 2900XL series Set-based Cat5000 series Cat 6000 series Cat 6500 series Cat 2900 However, the 2900XL uses different commands for trunking, portfast and uplinkfast then the other IOS based switches. Does that sound right? --- Dennis Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=29436&t=29391 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
