not if you can get by with fairly low port density and your electricity is $0.06/kWh... for example a cisco 7609 populated with 4 and 8-port 10GbE linecards.
The 8-port is 2:1 oversubscribed unless you disable some ports, or keep an eye on traffic levels (example, a bunch of customers that never peak their charts at more than 2.5 to 4Gbps in any particular traffic direction) On Fri, Feb 12, 2016 at 4:09 PM, Seth Mattinen <[email protected]> wrote: > On 2/12/16 13:47, TJ Trout wrote: > >> >> Also is there such a thing as a "core" switch that offers redundancy >> with multiple supervisors ? >> > > Yes, but they're mutually exclusive with "less expensive". > > ~Seth >
