CL: good for what? the 2950 series is L2 only and advertises that it does not have all of the QoS funtionality of the 3550. You'd have to check the documentation for both to figure out what those shortcomings may be. CL: For an L3 Cisco switch, the 3550 with the EMI image is about the lowest price device you can get. CL: check out http://www.nextag.com/ for price comparisons. also, if you visit a certain auction site, you can get lucky and get a good price sometimes. CL: The rest of Cisco's low end line - the 19xx, the 29xx, and the 35xx are pretty much history. If you are asking in terms of CCIE lab preparation, you are probably better off investing in a real 3550, or making friends with someone who has one, or renting rack time from an establishment that has them available.
