Olicom 8600's can run the Cisco Code (4.1 is the latest Cisco build). The
8601 can run the boot code. But if you try to put the main code on the
8601 it comes back after it boots and goes thru all the diagnostics
"INVALID BOARD ID", so cisco is being smart and checking the board id to
prevent that.
But if you use the latest Olicom build, you get all the main stuff just
like the cisco code trCRF, trBRF, vlans, snmp, etc, you just don't get
CDP. Its a really nice setup.
