>From Cisco "Between September 1, 2002 and November 4th, 2002 all CCIE labs will replace the current Catalyst 5000 switches with Catalyst 3550 switches. However, the only switching features tested during this time will be those common to both devices - additional features on the Catalyst 3550 will only be tested beginning November 4th, 2002."
The 5000's are already gone from RTP and probably some of the other labs as well!

The roll out of 3550s to replace the 5000s and removal of Token Ring from the lab are scheduled to be completed Nov 4th... So 5000s and 3900 TR switches are still valid lab equipment for the next 3 weeks or so... -- Russell Heilling http://www.ccie.org.uk/ Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=55528&t=55288 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
