[c-nsp] 3550 Switches

[Paul Stewart]

We are in need of a router/switch at a remote POP site.  Originally we were
looking at a 2950 switch and a 3640 router for our needs.... Then I came
across the 3550 switch.

Any feedback on these?  If I understand the literature, they are a IOS
driven switch with full routing and switching?  Are they basically a
downsized 6509 switch in most ways?  If they are, this is exactly what we're
looking for...

I need OSPF and some static routing options along with VLAN support on the
ports....  10/100 ethernet... Pretty basic...

According to the docs, I'd need the EMI version as well?

Thanks,

Paul
