The thing I like about the 3500XL over the 2900XL is that the 3500 can do dot1q and ISL and we used then quite a bit to bridge between old and new networks. As far as I could tell the 2900XL's could only do dot1q - well the models I had access to.
I am about to deploy some 3524XL-EN at the moment as they are still fine switches for some 100mb interconnects between datacentres. ...Skeeve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Kell Sent: Wednesday, 20 June 2007 12:25 PM To: Steve Feldman Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Solid L2 switch - 2948G or 3548-XL-EN?

We have some XLs of both flavors. The only "really annoying" old ones are the 4Mb 2900XLs - they can't trunk (other than uplinks). Wasn't the 2948G the odd one that could do L3, but only the uplinks? or was that a 49xx? Never had either one.
