Where can you find the list of routers that support Dot1q

I was curious because I was instructed to perform a lab with my University this morning and on a 3620 there is no ISL or DOT1q configuration choices that I can see anywhere within the IOS. I was wondering if anyone knows if this model supports trunking or not and if there is a place I can search for this in the future and anyone knows it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advanced guys

create a sub-interface and when in configuration mode for that subint, see if you have the encapsulation command available
And it's usually not the router itself that will support it, but whether or not the IOS version will support it. I know 3640's will do dot1q trunking, so I'd be very surprised if a 3620 wouldn't. -

In general, the Feature Navigator (http://www.cisco.com/go/fn) will help you figure out what platform and IOS image you need for the features you want -

Is it not just the IOS that determines if the protocol can be used, or is it down to hardware limitations on some devices? -
