G.8032 protocol work with Cisco Switches?

[Math-Tea-1-11-2011]

Dear Supports,I am looking for Cisco  switch. The  Cisco Catalyst 4500 series features are really interesting. I  would like to know if this product work with g.8032 ring protection  protocol or not because this protocol does not mention in the user  guide. I really need this protocol because my current Ring is working  with G.8032 Ring Protection Switch. I would like to upgrade my network  by connecting my current Ring to Cisco switch (Catalyst 4500 series).

Please let me know if this series support G.8032 protocol or not.

Best regards,

Math Tea
