A while back I took a vlan.dat file from a 24 port 3550 lab switch and moved it to a 48 port 3560 to see what would happen (and to see if it would save me time, in that I would not have to enter in the vlan info again) but the 3560 went into a continuous reboot. Had to go into boot mode and delete the vlan.dat. So much for a shortcut... _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
