I need about 12 + Gigabit Ethernet (Copper) ports, 48 10/100BaseT ports, a GBIC uplink to some 2950G-EIs we have, and an RSM to provide intervlan routing. Can anyone advise of of the part numbers I would need to get the required ports? Am I correct in thinking the the Supervisor Engine III would provide the layer 3 functions?
