Speaking of inline power, does anyone know if there is
a way to turn it off on a 3500XL series by port ?

We have a customer with a VLAN trunk between a 2600
and a 3500XL switch and are getting errors. With dot1q
it is runts, and with ISL it is FCS, late collissions.
We were able to duplicate this on our equipment in our
lab as well. Customers having slow performance over
this trunk, so were wondering if these errors could be
the culprit. Were looking at other things however now
that are more likely the cause.

The errors increase at a regular interval, and we
tracked it down to inline power sending out a FLP
every 5 seconds if I recall correctly. Theres a field
notice on this as well.
