Set-based Switches (CatOS) 7 Catalyst 1200 Series 7 Catalyst 2901 7 Catalyst 2902 7 Catalyst 2926T/F 7 Catalyst 2926GS/L 7 Catalyst 2948G 7 Catalyst 2980G 7 Catalyst 4000 Series 7 Catalyst 5000 Series 7 Catalyst 5500 Series 7 Catalyst 6000 Series 7 Catalyst 6500 Series 7 Catalyst 8500 Series IOS-like Switches 7 Catalyst 2912XL 7 Catalyst 2924XL 7 Catalyst 3550 Series 7 Catalyst 3500XL Series 7 Catalyst 2950 Series Menu Setup Switches 7 Catalyst 1700 Series 7 Catalyst 1900 Series 7 Catalyst 2100 Series 7 Catalyst 2800 Series 7 Catalyst 2820 Series 7 Catalyst 3000 Series Token Ring Switches 7 Catalyst 3900 Series 7 Catalyst 2600 Series I hope that helps... --- Dennis > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: > To: > Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 6:38 PM > Subject: Re: CCIE LAB EXAM CHANGES.....
