Overview This paper discusses the implementation of Cisco Catalyst series switches in one's network, specifically the Catalyst 4500/4000, 5500/5000, and 6500/6000 platforms. Configurations and commands will be discussed that assumes users are running Catalyst OS (CatOS) General Deployment software 6.4(3) or later. The solutions offered here represent years of field experience from Cisco engineers working with many of their largest customers and complex networks. This paper offers the solutions that have statistically the broadest field exposure, and thus the lowest risk, solutions that are simple, trading some flexibility for deterministic results, solutions that are easy to manage and configure by network operations teams, and solutions that promote high availability and high stability.
