If you really want to have it confusing, grab yourself a 6509 or 6505
<br />>
with a Layer3 processor on it. You'll have both IOS and CatOS on the
<br />>
same device! Well, with the older versions you will. You can also
<br />>
upgrade those now to be fully IOS on both sides.
<br />
<br />I R<font size="2">EMEMBER that Chris<font size="2">! You got into the Catalyst sw<font size="2">itch, and then had to "attach" t<font size="2">o the router <font size="2">card in it. The comman<font size="2">d-line syntax changed just a bit when going from the C<font size="2">atOS to th<font size="2">e router IOS. Confusing, and a PIA to have to do it. But the switch/<font size="2">router combo worked and <font size="2">was smoking fast!</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font>

The Catalyst Express junk doesn't have a CLI at all, just a web GUI. I
<br />>
mean, that's fine. We all love BlueOnyx. But what if BlueOnyx had NO
<br />>
CLI!?!
<br />
<br /><font size="2">Y<font size="2">ep - <font size="2">I've run into that same thing. <font size="2">No CLI in those little SOHO<font size="2">/S<font size="2">MB boxes. Didn't make me happy. And then you've got to figure out how to do things in the GUI, when they label the functions with odd names that non-techies can understand. <font size="2">Kinda like schools dumbing down the curriculum<font size="2">.....
