Anyone know about the: Cisco Catalyst 3750 ? Nortel Passport 8600/1600 ?
As for the 3550-EMI "real life" experience as a 10/100 BT aggregation switch wasn't affected(CPU <5%) at all by rather aggressive scanning but did generate around 11 Mb/sec of ARP requests on all the 100Mb/sec ports in
Nortel Passport 8600 is flow-based according to a description I saw once; it might have changed. the same
VLAN and totally killed connectivity to legacy equipment connected at 10 Mb/s ...
Cisco Cat6k/Sup2+ has some throttling mechanisms that are worth testing to see if it also happens on that architeture. Rubens
