[nsp] RE: Catalyst 5000(5500) over 4000(4500)???

[Schonemann II, James R.]

In a nut shell the difference between the 5500 & the 4500s is that the
4500 line was designed to support converged networks. In doing so it has
support for advanced services required in a converged network. This
switch was designed to carry Voice, Video, & Data.  The 5509 was
designed to carry web pages, email.

Hi all,

i have to upgrade our network core. I have to choose between a new 4005 
or a used 5000 (supervisor 2). Someone can explain the main difference 
between the two series (apart the 5000 is EOL).

Regards
