Protocol (basically only available on ME and IE switches), other tunneling capabilities like L2TP, uncommon optical media type support, and similar features that you'd only really need if functioning

what you need to do is track down an older software release or feature
train that applies... the latest versions applicable to both ME3400 and
3750's actually won't let you find those models, even though you can run
the latest version on those platforms, e.g. EX/EZ/EY are the latest,
but you're right in that you can't find the models you want under those.<br><br></div><div>Drop back to 12.2SE and you'll be able to find both ME3400 and 3750/3750G/3750E.<br><br><div>The Feature Navigator "Search by Software" option will also allow you to
search for "available" releases by platform, so using that you can find the latest
version that feature navigator knows about.<br></div><br></div><div>After that the latest release notes for the most recent release applicable to your platform can let you know what features *might* now be available on the platform.<br></div><div><br></div>If all you're doing is
up to 1Gbps Layer 2 with a single level of 802.1Q you'd probably be fine
with them provided they meet your bandwidth/forwarding/etc requirements
and physical specs necessary for the install location. e.g. temp/humidity/etc, and while DC power supplies are now available for 3750X they may not be for your EoS/EoL 3750 models.<br><br>-Colin<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><br></div></div></div></div></div>
