Very very partial feeds. The 4948 is limited 32,000 routes. Even the 4900M is limited to 200,000. http://tinyurl.com/2zd3v4 If you want to carry full tables you'd be better off looking at routers and not switches. I have 3800s and 2800s with full tables (even had some 3600s). If this is a new purchase then I'd recommend a 7200 such as the 7201.
