HI Mohamed,

well easy one

802.3(Ethernet yes if you use an FE Module) At least the 11501 is doing auto sensing onthe module see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps792/products_installation_guide_chapter09186a0080117752.html

802.1d (Spanningtree) yes is supported but you should avoid real spannting tree on the CSS

802.1q (trunking) is supported with some limitiation in terms of the amount of VLANS (see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps792/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a008028ff51.html#wp1084065)

802.1p (Qos at MAC-Level) is as far as I know not supported

802.3u (100MBit Ethernet) is only supported as 100BaseT and I think you can run it as 100BaseT4 as this is in my opinion and from the things I read so far only a thing of the cable categories. 100BaseFX is not supported

Kind Regards,

Joerg
