I have a few of these. as Chris mentioned, very flexible switch, and each port can be configured as router ports.
My versions come with 2 Copper Gigaport and 10 GBIC ports, you can use Cat5E or Cat6 on those giga ports for 1000base speeds, or GBICS in your for fibre giga(depending on the model) The router supports everything a switch has, plus that of a router. Full support for all the routing protocols and tonnes of memory. I've had etherchannel and trunking running on these no worries (watch DTP here as you need to set it to ON when using 3548's and 2950s), you can set switchport access or switchport trunk on these, or use them like router ports with Ip's as Chris mentioned. Good switch, if you need a hand with it, [EMAIL PROTECTED] HTH Cheers Kris CCNP,CNE,CCIE(w) Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=44016&t=44009 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
