[c-nsp] 3550-48 -> 3560-48TS-E migration?

[Masood Ahmad Shah]

The thing I'm missing is, it does not support Policy-Based Routing (PBR)
when forwarding IPv6 traffic:( The software supports IPv4 PBR only when the
dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 routing template is configured.

Here is the link for more on dual-ipv4-ipv6:

Having just gone past the end of software maintenance date for the 3550, 
and with the need to start at least looking at supporting IPv6 on our 
customer aggregation switches in the not so distant future, I suppose it's 
time to seriously consider the 3560-48TS as a replacement / upgrade path 
for our 3550-48's.

With the 3550-48's, we've been getting away with configuring generally all 
or nearly all the FE interfaces as routed ports using the default SDM 
template, and not run into any problems, even though this template is 
allegedly optimized for 8 routed interfaces.  Can the 3560-48TS be used 
similarly without getting into software forwarding?

I'd love to hear from someone using the 3560-48TS in a mixed v4/v6 
environment with 48 routed ports, since cisco's docs that I've found so 
far don't seem to suggest how likely this is to work.
