As stated previously, the 2950 is essentially an L2 switch only, the
3550 can be either L2 or L3. To configure the L3 version of the 3550
you can check out:

Switche s
But how do you configure multilayer switching/routing? Is it like an
RSM/MSFC ?
i.e.
interface vlan 20
ip address x.x.x.x
or like a cat2948G-L3 where you have to subinterface the port to trunk
it
and create BVI's to route
i.e.
interface fastethernet 0/1.1
bridge-group 1
interface BVI1
ip add x.x.x.x
The only thing that the documentation says is that you are supposed to
type
'no switchport' and then assign an ip address
i.e.
interface fastethernet 0/1
no switchport
ip address x.x.x.x
So is it a multiport router? How do you route the vlans? How about
trunks?
And if it is truly a multilayer switch, wouldn't we have to enter mls
commands somewhere?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Aurelio

Hi Ted,
With Layer 3 image running on a CAT3550, it is as good as having a
router in
your network. You can run the following rotuing protocols: OSPF, RIP,
IGRP
and EIGRP. IS-IS is currently not supported. You could even configure
some
of the ports as a routed port.
CAT2950 is a purely layer 2 switch and you cannot run any routing
protocol
on it.
I hope this answers your question.
