Correct. The Layer 3 engine was what I meant. At L2 the issues are
largely academic, yes?
FYI - If you do end up having to have route non-IP protocols across
VLAN's on a 3550 there is a feature called 'Fallback Bridging' that will
allow you to make that happen. I doubt it will be on a CCIE lab
question, but you never know :-)

IPX not supported on a largely layer-two device? or are you referring
to the L3 features in the 3550-series?
IMHO removing IPX from the lab is just as foolish as removing other
protocols last year... For example: What meaning is a CCIE who doesn't
know how to drive a brand-new 6509 switch running CatOS? or debug a
network with 2500 IPX SAP's (like ours)? God forbid one of these CCIE's
should run in to a router w/DECnet and HSRP running on the same
interface!
