Re: Cisco 2950 with enhanced software question/problem

Howdy,

I wish I had a better answer for your question however as far as I know
the 2950 will still be L2 device.

However I dont see why you couldnt test it. (Cuz im no cisco genius and
I could definatly be wrong)

Try turning the switchport OFF on some of your ports. Turning on IP
Routing.(To do this login, Enable, COnfig t, and the command is "Ip
routing") Setup some static routes through it, or try configuring a
simple routing protocol from the global command prompt. What your
ultimate goal is to basically setup one or two ports as route ports.
Turning off switching on those ports, turning on ip routeing, assigning
IP address's and installing routes.

I dont know if your in an environment where you can test this. TBH I
know nothing about new IOS versions and software enchancements of this
switch, however seems to me in a lab environment you could easily test
it.

I wish I could help ya better, The only L3 switch I have ever dealt
with was a 3550.

I hope I helped ya a tad or gave ya some ideas. =/
