I know it sounds strange to think that 3560's are coming in
and 3550's not coming out. but the website which is the
"official" word seems to alude to that. The routers that
are coming out say they are coming out in Nov and the 3560's
are listed as coming in in Nov. There is not however, any
mention of the 3550's coming out. So - what is a person to
think? Certainly adds to the confusion and mystery :)
* 2621 series routers - IOS 12.3 mainline Enterprise
Basic (To be removed November 13, 2006.)
* 3640 series routers - IOS 12.3 mainline Enterprise
Plus (To be removed November 13, 2006.)
* 3725 series routers - IOS 12.4 mainline Advanced
Enterprise Services
* 3825 series routers - IOS 12.4 mainline Advanced
Enterprise Services
* Catalyst 3550 series switches running IOS version 12.2
IP Services
* Catalyst 3560 Series switches running IOS version 12.2
- Advanced IP Services *
* Beginning on November 13, 2006.
Thanks,
