CatOS is a Unix-like operating system for many legacy Cisco switches. CatOS runs on the following switch series: 1200, 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, 6000 and 6500. Some of the high end switches such as the Catalyst 6500 series still run CatOS. | CatOS is the operating system used on Cisco's Catalyst switches before changing over to IOS.

CatOS
CatOS is the operating system used on Cisco's Catalyst switches before changing over to IOS. Before purchasing the technology from Crescendo in 1993, CatOS was called XDI. CatOS is a Unix-like operating system for many legacy Cisco switches. CatOS runs on the following switch series: 1200, 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, 6000 and 6500. Some of the high end switches such as the Catalyst 6500 series still run CatOS.
On this page we will be comparing two switches; a Catalyst 4006 running CatOS and a Catalyst 2960 running IOS.
Commands
Commands entered in CatOS are committed to NVRAM instantaneously. In IOS, the user is required to issue a command to save to NVRAM.

| Interface | (config-t)interface int (which puts you into interface configuration mode) | (enable)set port command mod/port |
| Set Console Password | (config-line)password password | (enable)set password (you will be prompted to change password) |
| Turn on ports | (config-if)no shutdown | (enable)set port enable mod/port |
| Turn off ports | (config-if)shutdown | (enable)set port disable mod/port |
| Banner-MOTD | (config-t)banner-motd # banner here # | (enable)set banner motd # banner here # |
| System / Hostname | (config)hostname name | (enable)set system name name |
| Bandwidth | (config-if)bandwidth number in kb | (enable)set port speed speed in megabits |
| Setting up a domain name for VTP | (config-t)vtp domain domain-name | (enable)set vtp domain domain-name |
