I can't speak from a great deal of experience here, but set based switches seem easier to configure, because you can change settings for multiple ports with one command.
For example, on a CAT5K, to change duplex speed to full on a whole module (12 port 10bFL) I type Set port duplex 3/1-12 full And it sets it on all 12 interfaces. Doing this in an IOS based switch would require the use of notepad and cut and paste :) It would be a shame if Cisco did migrate away from the set based language. What do others think? -----Original Message----- From: John Brandis [mailto:john.brandis@;solution6.com] Sent: 30 October 2002 23:44 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CCNP Switching [7:56559] Hi all, in relation to the commecnts on the test, I have not seen a set based switch for almost a year now, however I look at some of my SYNGRESS CCNP Switching book, which makes a funny comment on how "ALL" core switchs are set based. I would like to see the tests coming up in the future, as I feel (and this is up for debate) that a certain degree of emphasys must be placed upon IOS based commands at the core, as thats what I expect to see on these platforms in the future.
