RE: CCNP Switching [7:56559]
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.

RE: CCNP Switching [7:56559]
I hear cisco is doing away with set based. Apparently the ccie lab includes two 3550's which are IOS based. Whoever told me this said cisco bought the set based system and created IOS themselves, so the plan is to do away with set based and go completely with their own stuff. All that may be wrong, just what I heard.

All that may be wrong, just what I heard. This is correct. Remember that the Catalyst switch line was originally made by Kalpana (and Grand Junction sort of), which developed the set-based commands independently of any Cisco involvement. Cisco wisely realizes that having a unified front makes their products more attractive to us lowly engineers, and IMO the unification is a long time coming! ;-) BJ Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=56587t=56559 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: CCNP Switching [7:56559]
Actually, there's a range command that allows you to modify multiple ports at a time. At least on the Native IOS on the 6500 and 4000s. But I agree with you, I still like the CatOS better.
