Honestly, just go with the 6509. We just ordered 4 of them and they work
wonderfully. Got the Layer 3 goin', the IDS module is hummin' and the
content switching module is excellent. All of that will 21 connections
of Multimode. It just makes me happy to be a security-network engineer.
Use the 3550 for testing......

Subject: Re: Gigabit GBIC for 3550 [7:42680]
interesting question, Steve. I had been under the impression that the
software treated the stack as a single entity, thus making STP irrelevant,
but in re-reading, I see that is for management purposes.
Can't find anything in the documentation that I browsed. I'm curious
because
this is something we have proposed to cheapskate customers on occasion -
you
know - the ones who don't want to spring for a 6509 ;->
I am tempted to guess that on the stack ( the gig ports only ) that STP is
disabled, but I can't find documentation that verifies this suspicion.
Like your web page, by the way.
