[nsp] Migrating an Catalyst 6509 from CatOS to IOS

[Simon Hamilton-Wilkes]

Depends whether you're doing mostly switching, or mostly routing on the box.

the 'interface range gi1/1 - 6/48' prevents you having to go into every
interface.

My old irritation was the huge configs I ended up with, but now you can
include and exclude lines, and 'do' commands while in config mode I could
never go back.

CatOS is the best.  I hate that Cisco is going away from.
What are you trying to gain by converting?  With CatOS, you can easily
manipulate names, vlans, etc.  IOS on a switch, you have to treat every
switch port like a router interface.
e.g.
	conf t
	interface fa2/1
	switchport access vlan 1
	description blabla

OR with Cat os
	set port 2/1 BlaBla
	set vlan 1 2/1

And if you want to do ranges?  Well, without getting into custom groups of
interfaces, you have to go into every interface (see above IOS example).
With CatOS?
	set vlan 1 2/1-2/48

now which would you rather do?
