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 (IOS) mode....... I believe if you don't specify when you order, you'll get Hybrid by default...... Just be sure that you're in hybrid and it should be very much like being on a Cat5000. If the 6000 happens to be in Native, you can convert to Hybrid by following these instructions:
