I'll stand behind the glass and watch while you do that to YOUR 3550. :)

Actually it will if you cross pins 1-2..3-6 to 1-2...4-5 !!!!! lol

At least the light may come on for a moment!!

Also I don't believe the 3550 supports ISIS.

Cat-3550(config)#router ?
  bgp Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
  egp Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)
  eigrp Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
  igrp Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP)
  isis ISO IS-IS
  iso-igrp IGRP for OSI networks
  mobile Mobile routes
  odr On Demand stub Routes
  ospf Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
  rip Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
  static Static routes

Cat-3550(config)#router isis
Cat-3550(config)#

At least on this code

c3550-i5k2l2q3-mz.121-14.EA1.bin

You mean even though the T1 plug fits in the Ethernet connector it won't
work??? :-)

The 3550 doesn't support certain policy routing features and traffic
shaping/policing features as well.

Cisco has documents for each IOS release on the 3550 that say what isn't
supported.
