Is it possiable to run image for cisco 3550 PWR-SMI on c3500 XL series switch?

Hi,

as you know cisco 3500 XL switches are L2 switches and there is no ios image which supports L3 functionality compiled for that devices, but what will happen if I'll try to run C3550-IPBASEK9-M image on 3500 XL series switch?
Will it boot up?
Will the SVI functionality be available?

Thank you,
Edik.

The 3550 is a different hardware family so I think you'll find that the 3500XL will likely not boot up with a 3550 image.
