[f-nsp] FWS24 layer3 switching

[Tamas Csillag]

Dear Foundry users,

I recently picked up an old FWS24 so i could get some hands-on practice 
for the BCNE exam, and some home lab experimenting (Cisco-Foundry-HP 
interop, etc.).

According to it's datasheet, the FWS24 is capable of L3 switching, but 
i'm unable to configure it. Google says it's only possible with 6.5 and 
6.6 firmware, and i have 7.0 and 7.1. Is it possible that the L3 
features were removed in a newer release?

Flash looks like this:

telnet at kalapacs#sh fl
Code Flash Type: AMD 29F016, Size: 32 * 65536 = 2097152, Unit: 1
Boot Flash Type: AMD 29F010, Size: 8 * 16384 = 131072
Compressed Pri Code size = 870849, Version 07.1.26nT10
Compressed Sec Code size = 864016, Version 07.0.00T10
Boot Image size = 80792, Version 06.00.00


Is it possible to get a support contract on this EOL switch with 
Brocade, or something?

Any pointers much appreciated!


Cheers,

Tamas
