NME Switch Module vs 3750?

Anyone know if the NME switch modules run the full Cat 3750 feature set? I’m thinking about picking one up for the lab since they are WAY cheaper than an actual 3750. I know they don’t have stack capabilities, but that’s OK.

    Just noticed that the NME-XD-24ES-1S-P does have stackwise connectors. Hmmm....

    What's the total cost when you add in the cost of the 2800 or 3800 to run it in? I saw some used 3750s go for $1100 on eBay last month.

    I have a 2821 w/IP power supply already – That’s the only reason why I’m considering the NME (assuming the feature set is the same) - The NME-16ES-1G-Ps have been going for around $400-$500 on the bay of late.

    So does anyone know if the NMEs run the full Cat 3750 IOS?

    According to Cisco's website they run the same IOS as a 3750. They even support stacking which is pretty cool. I don't see why anyone would use that feature for a switch module, but still pretty cool.

    The NME-16ES-1G-P is also supported in the 2691. Grab one of those NMEs and a good deal on a 2691 would give you a relatively cheap 3750.

    For anybody interested - the NME-16ES-1G does indeed do PVLANs:

    NME_16ES(config-vlan)#private-vlan ?
    association Configure association between private VLANs
    community Configure the VLAN as a community private VLAN
    isolated Configure the VLAN as an isolated private VLAN
    primary Configure the VLAN as a primary private VLAN

    NME_16ES(config-if)#switchport mode private-vlan ?
    host Set the mode to private-vlan host
    promiscuous Set the mode to private-vlan promiscuous

    NME_16ES(config-if)#switchport private-vlan mapping ?
    <1006-4094> Primary extended range VLAN ID of the private VLAN promiscuous port mapping
    <2-1001> Primary normal range VLAN ID of the private VLAN promiscuous port mapping




    And you can even play with the stack config (not that you can actually connect it to anything):

    NME_16ES#switch 1 stack port 1 enable

    NME_16ES#sh switch
    Switch/Stack Mac Address : 0023.xxxx.xxxx
    H/W Current
    Switch# Role Mac Address Priority Version State
    *1 Master 0023.xxxx.xxxx 1 0 Ready


    NME_16ES#show switch stack-ports
    Switch # Port 1 Port 2
    1 Down Down

    NME_16ES#show switch neighbors
    Switch # Port 1 Port 2
    1 None None
