Yeah... I don't get this... I know there aren't any 2950s and 3550s that support power, but there's the 3524-PWR-XL-EN switch that does provide inline power. Can't they make up their mind as to whether they want to do it or not?!?!?! As far as the 3550 replacing the 5000, it says "However

Are they using 6x00 switches in the lab? I thought they were still using Cat5000s and therefore the CatOS and Set/Show/Clear commands. If that is still the case, you wouldn't want to use a 3550 as it uses IOS (config t, etc). I know the 6000s and 6500s you can use in Hybrid (CatOS) or Native (I

IMHO, you should always force the speed and duplex on both the switch and the end device. Autodetect can work find if both sides are set to autodetect, but if one side is set to a particular duplex and speed and the other is auto, you'll almost surely run into to problems (the least likely proble

Although I've not used 'stacking' I've heard and read of it a small bit. It seems it's makes multiple switches appear as a single switch as far as managing the equipment. However, performance-wise, is there any gain to 'stacking' switches as opposed to simply interconnecting them. I'm not aware
