The 3550 running the Enhanced image of IOS is a layer 3 switch with 24 or 48 ports- No need for a Route Module add-on. You can put an IP on every single port too from what I understand.
It more or less can do the same thing as a 6500 - minus any Tel-Co blades that might be able to be put in the 6500. Of course, I don't have any experience with the 6500 series switch, so I don't know what all you can put in it. :( Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 9:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Not on;y is TR going... [7:46391] Dream of many 3550s...... Question: Maybe I am an Idiot or something but why are they using the 3550? I just don't understand. I thought they shoud use the 6506 or something like that not a lower model. Can someone clarify this point for me. Theo "Steven A.
