After Nov 4, 2002 anything with the 3550 is fair game. Before that time
Cisco only tested features that were common between the 5000 and 3550.

Subject: Cat 3550 features
Hi all,
Up until recently, I was under the impression that what needed to be
known
about the Cat 3550 consisted primarily of knowing how to do the same
things
with 3550 that could be done with the Cat 5000 - things like configuring
VTP,
placing ports into vlan's, ether channel, trunking, layer 2 QOS, etc.
And, as
long as you knew that 3550 ports could be either Layer 2 or Layer 3 and
how to
config the port for the type of port you needed, you'd be OK in the lab.
But, recently, I've seen postings here on groupstudy that are making me
very
nervous about what a candidate needs to be able to do with the Cat 3550.
Then
I downloaded a sample tutorial from IPExpert and as I read through it, I
became even more @#!%@%&&*
In this tutorial, they briefly discuss technologies that I had little
(or no)
idea about and had never implemented.
Things such as: MVR - Multicast Vlan Registration,
Vlan Maps,
VRF- lite,
SSH,
WCCP
just to name a few.
So, here's my question and please answer without violating the NDA:
To what extent are these topics/technologies required for successful
completion of the lab?
All opinions are welcomed. Jim
