Re: Catalyst 5000 vs. Catalyst 1201 for CCNP home [7:32606]
I just got a Cat 1201, I have to tell you, it's VERY similar to a Cat5k. Im working on setting the device up in a special rack. If you want telnet access to check it out, let me know via email (address is below). thanks, -Brad Ellis CCIE#5796 (R&S / Security) Network Learning Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] used Cisco gear: www.optsys.net CCIE Labs, racks, and classes: http://www.ccbootcamp.com/quicklinks.html ""Colin"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Hi, > > I am studying for my CCNP and getting together a list for equipment for > a home lab.

Re: Catalyst 5000 vs. Catalyst 1201 for CCNP home [7:32606]
The 1201 UI is very close. Please correct me since it's been awhile since I've run into 1200's. 1)Trunking. You can't do any form of trunking on the ethernet ports. But having 4000series routers with the FDDI interface might be a good compromise. 2)Multicast. There are few of the Catalyst multicast features(CGMP) which I am under the impression is part of the lab. But I'm suprised the 1201 has IGMP snooping. The old 2901, not the newer XL or G stuff, but the old Cat5k stuffed into a 'fixed' configuration 2 slot chassis has got to be cheap at this point. It runs the same images as the Cat5k so there is no delta. Darrell Brad Ellis wrote: > > I just got a Cat 1201, I have to tell you, it's VERY similar to a Cat5k.

Why do they call a 1201 a L3 switch? What L3 functions can it do besides RIP? -- RFC 1149 Compliant. FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Catalyst 5000 vs. Catalyst 1201 for CCNP home [7:32606]
Well..I've never even seen a 1201 but if it supports rip as a routing protocol, then that should tell you it does layer 3... Don't get confused though... Routing protocols have nothing to do with what layer of the OSI model a device operates on. A switch running just on layer 2 may have the abillity to have multiple segments coming into it, but can not pick packets up from 1 layer 3 network and place them on another layer 3 network. A switch that can operate on layer 3 doesn't have to run rip/ospf/eigrp/etc...to do it. Static routes will work just fine. -Patrick >>> "Steven A.

Re: Catalyst 5000 vs. Catalyst 1201 for CCNP home [7:32606]
It may just understand RIP in order to learn the address of router(s) on its segment? Indeed, that doesn't make it a Layer-3 forwarding device.
