Re: WS-F5521 or WS-X5530-E2

They're the same   ws-x5530-e1 - has a ws-f5511 or ws-f5520 EARL daughtercard ws-x5530-e2/e2a has a ws-f5521/ws-f5521a netflow feature card ws-x5530-e3/e3a has a ws-f5531/ws-f5531a netflow feature card 2       I don't think this is necessary for the CCIE lab (yet) and its actually pretty trivial to set it up - I had L3 switching running in about two hours starting from scratch at a customer site six months ago ... if you can get some time on any cat 5000 series box you should scoot right through BCMSN.       Rick Holden wrote: Could someone please explain to me the difference between these to cards. WS-F5521 and WS-X5530-E2 I looked on Cisco's web site but still can't get a clear picture of what the difference is. They both seem to be supervisor card with NFFC, but the WS-F5521 card is alot less expensive. Why should I by the WS-X5530-E2 when the other is less then half the price. Thanks.
