IMHO, it's still a good switch. But you should get one with Enhanced image
with the lowest cost here being the 2950T-24 (with 2 UTP 1000 Mbit ports).
I am using one in my lab, having not enough money at the time for buying 2
3550 switches. Although it doesn't do layer3, I can solved this by
connecting a 1700 router to it with trunking, and doing all the L3 routing
stuff on the 1700 for the labs. Makes it a little bit more complicated for
the labs, but hey, it's not supposed to be all easy for a CCIE candidate ;-)
There are some features missing like VLAN ACL's and QOS match on precedence,
but still much netter than 2900XL or 3500XL switches (IMHO)
Kind regards,
Koen.

Subject: 2950 -- layer 2 switch
Sorry for this off topic question and maybe the question for folks who work
at Cisco. Regarding 2950 series switch, is it a out of date equipment or is
it still a popular and mainline layer 2 switch?
thanks for your comments.
