None of the above. See

> I think both have different ways of configurations ...
True.
The 8500 runs Classical IOS as we all know it from the routers.
(This isn't very strange since the 8500CSR *is* a router. The
MSR also has Classical IOS CLI, but that's really just a souped-
up Lightstream 1010).
The 6000's with MSFC can also run Classical IOS where you don't
get the Crescendo CLI for the L2 part of the box.
The Crescendo bread (1200, 1400, 2900, 4000, 5000, 6000) use what
I refer to as Crescendo IOS, since that's were the CLI came from.
Cisco now often refers to it as CatOS.
The XLs (2900, 3500) use what I refer to as 'Workgroup IOS'. It
looks a lot like the routers but have a number of very irritating
differences.
The 1900/2800's use what I refer to as Grand Junction IOS, while
the 3000's use Kalpana IOS. (Again, that's were they came from).
The 1900/2800's also have an 'enterprise' version which also has
a CLI somewhat like the XL's, but it's not the same. That really
stink. (They also have the menues as the Classical Grand Junction
IOS).
... And now I guess we all have to learn ArrowPoint IOS.
Sigh,
