and why are you so distraught about no IDS..? other than the fact we all know your big on security.
Its a basic l2/l3 switch for the lan switching part of the R/S lab, not the security lab...

[7:46391] I don't know about this thing. What is the real throughput I wonder. It says 24Gbbs switching fabric but I can't find a place where is says "X Gbbs throughput" Has anyone really ever tested one of these puppies? I would like to know if it can really take a beating without losing packets. And this thing can't do IDS! Why O why did they choose this thing? How about the Content Swiching Module? Does it have anything like this? I am looking at the page now and can't see anything promising. Man was someone sniffing acid when they suggested the switch and it wasn't IDS??? I would like to know if anyone has any experience with this with like 10 1-gig copper connections, all intensive traffic flows between various servers. I know the 6509 can take the pain without too much trouble. Can the 3550 really perform????

[7:46391] 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.
