Hello Manu,
The following link will give you the detail differences between CAT3550
SMI & EMI.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps646/products_qanda_item09186a00800913d3.shtml
In short I would say that SMI for Unicast routing supports only static
routes and RIPV1/V2 whereas EMI in addition to static routes & RIP also
supports OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and PIM in Multicasting.
Your switch Image c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-19.EA1c.bin is an EMI Image which
must be use for LAB Prep.
Hope that Helps
Best wishes,
