4908G-L3 and IPX network encapsulations

[rcsu-it]

Hey all,

We have a few 4908G-L3's throughout our organization. We have having a few performance problems and have come up with a specific question for you.

Does the 4908G-L3 support __layer 3 switching__ of all IPX encapsulations?? or just Ethernet II??

thank you in advance for any information you can provide on what the 4908G-L3 can and can't do on the ASICs for layer 3..

When looking to the release-notes, they do not seem to indicate any limitations as to which encapsulations are supported:

The configuration guide shows that all 4 IPX encapsulations can be configured:
