RE: Switch types for BCMSN [7:29391]
Cisco has had two releases of the 2900XL series. The early ones were deeper and (I believe) used a 9 pin console cable. I seem to remember that they did not have the XL logo. Confirmation/denial requested from the list. For set based command switches then best to be specific: 2901, 2926.

RE: Switch types for BCMSN [7:29391]
I believe you are correct that the earlier 2900XL switches were (much) deeper and required a DB9 console connector. All of the 2900s I've ever used were IOS based, not set based. However, I can't say I've used all of the different models 2900 out there =) Mike Daniel Cotts wrote: Cisco has had two releases of the 2900XL series.

RE: Switch types for BCMSN [7:29391]
I've got one of the older 2900XL switches that can't be upgraded to the newest 2900XL IOS software. It isn't deeper than any other 2900XL switch I've seen. It also uses a standard console cable - the same that you would use with a Cisco router. My early 2900XL is also IOS-based, and not CatOS nor menu-driven. The 2948G layer 3 switch (and 2980 I'd assume as well although I haven't kept on top of switch releases and this one I'm not familiar with) use CatOS commands but these switches are not part of the XL line. And if I recall correctly, the old obsoleted 2901 switch was also CatOS based (and again isn't part of the XL line). The 2900XL series is funky in that although it does use IOS-based commands, they don't follow the traditional commands - so yes Dennis you are correct. Whether you're correct on which commands differ, I can't confirm that at the moment (although I do recall that the trunking and portfast commands are different and irritatingly so). -- Leigh Anne -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bolton, Travis Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 3:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Switch types for BCMSN [7:29391] I know that the 2948G and 2980 switches are Cat Based not IOS. -Original Message- From: Daniel Cotts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 1:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Switch types for BCMSN [7:29391] Cisco has had two releases of the 2900XL series.

By the way Dennis - if you truly want to find the demarcation point, search all of Cisco's old press releases.

RE: Switch types for BCMSN [7:29391]
First off, let me say Shame on me for not being clear enough. There were indeed other 2900 models that were set based, like a 2-slot Cat5000 but you couldn't change the hardware. I have one of those, it's a Catalyst 2901. But these were before the XL series. As fas as my comment about the newer switches being deeper and using a DB9 console port, I may be confusing those with older 1900s instead of 2900s.

RE: Switch types for BCMSN [7:29391]
Just a quick note on the 1900s. The old 1900c switches, (size of a pizza box) and db-9 console port were menu driven. the 1924-A standard edition (software upgradeable to Enterprise edition) and enterprise catalyst switches (1924-EN), you can choose IOS from the menu and is just like a 2924xl. They are half the size of the older models, and they have an rj45 console port.
