The feature list for IOS 12.x and 15.x for the Catalyst 4500 series specifically says it does not support reflexive ACL's or CBAC (unlike the bigger 6500 series). However, release notes for IOS XE 3.5.0E or better make no mention of it at all.
Can anyone verify if these are supported on your 4500E with 3.51 or 3.52? It's the difference between buying a pair of 4500E's for VSS mode vs going up to the 6500E chassis.
