What is CatOS?

CatOS is a discontinued operating system for Cisco Catalyst series switches. It was primarily used in the 1990s and early 2000s. CatOS ran separately on the supervisor engine of the switch, while the data forwarding occurred on the switch's hardware. It has been largely replaced by Cisco IOS for most Cisco switches.
