That is correct.  We at Northwestern have been using NetPass since last
fall with Cisco 3524/3548XL switches as well as 3550 switches.  There's
currently a wrinkle involved in that the XL-series switches have a
different ifindex scheme than the 3550s.  On a 3550, Fa0/10 = ifindex 10.
On a 3524/3548XL, Fa0/10 = ifindex 11.  So in the netpass.conf file, you
need to make this adjustment depending on the type of switch you have.

Cisco.pm could likely be improved to detect model number and adjust the
ifindex accordingly, so you would only have to specify the port number in
the conf file.

Correct.

Yep.
