Cisco Tip: CatOS to IOS Configuration Conversion Tool

Anyone who works with switches has, most likely, come across both the hybrid and native types. For those unfamiliar with these terms, native refers to a switch running only IOS. Hybrid, on the other hand, refers to a switch where the Supervisor runs CatOS and the MSFC runs IOS. When converting from hybrid to native, not only do you need to ensure the switch is running IOS software but you need to ensure the configuration is IOS-based as well. To that end, it helps to have a CatOS to IOS Configuration Conversion Tool.
