24e3 isn't Inferno chipset, it was the first of the "bought in" models (from Broadcom iirc) that led to the s200,s300 and s400 models. You can get an ssh image for it, 6.2e1b20 was the last release for them I believe. Layer3 wise it suffers the same problems that all of the Extremes of that era shared in that it was flow-based routing (and unlike the i-series kit can't do anything like the subnet-routing cludge), however it had a much smaller ipfdb than even the old summit48 that preceded it, so while it could sit quite happily in a "safe" corporate network, expose it to lots of flows and it would start chewing itself up.
