... And seeing as that all most switches are is a glorified multiple port
bridge, feel free to go to your 7500 and make it a switch by placing
"bridge-group 1" on every port, and if you want to get really crazy and make
it a L3 switch, go all out and put in a "bridge 1 route ip". :-)

Of course. It does wire-speed switching with one and
Possibly more CX-EIP6 if you enable dCEF :-)
