Some things are not supported when running native IOS on the Cat65XX. Some
examples are LANE with the OC-12 blade and the IDS blade for the 6XXX. I'm
sure there are others but in our testing these were the first that we ran
into.

Cheers,
Chad

Subject: [nsp] Which software for Catalyst 6500...

Dear Everyone,

I'd love to hear comments and real life experience with IOS for a
Catalyst 6500 as opposed to an older CatOS.

Are there any reasons not to use IOS image for a Catalyst in ISP
environment? Any major caveats?

Is CatOS better supported? I see it has rolled over version number 6.1
while the IOS image is still 12.0(7)XE1.

Thanks,

Elijah Kagan
