Can anybody tell me the difference between a Catalyst 5000 series Sup 3 (WS-X5530) and the Sup 3g (WS-X5550). We normally use Sup 3, but we now have a Sup G which seems to be some what different. It requires a Cat5000 software image while the Sup 3 require Cat5500 software images. The upgrade procedure is also different.
From what I have found on the Internet the difference between the Catalyst 5000 and the Catalyst 5500 chassis is that the Cat5500 supports
3 1200 Mbit busses, while the Cat5000 only supports 1. However, if I do a 'sh traffic', I see bus A, B and C. Thats no suprise, because the chassis is a 5505 chassis.So I am wondering if the Sup3g is better then the Sup3 not. :)
