You're right, SMI is a basic layer 2 switch, EMI is a switch/router.

I use my 3550's with EMI to terminate a vlan group that resides only on
that
switch. I then use L3 uplinks to the distribution 4507's. This way there
are
absolutely no spanning tree issues that arise and affect the
infrastructure.

The routing commands in the smi are either not supported or don't
exist..
I believe that's the main difference..however I will be corrected I am
sure :)

Folks,
I know how to distinguish between the SMI and the Emi versions from the
flash file itself , but what is the difference in commands and features
between both? thanx
