If there's a 4 slot chassis in the 2nd generation then I could see
N7K and N5K / N4K as a possible end-to-end platform for L3/MPLS core,
L2/L3 aggregation, and L2 access. And it would all run the same
software !!!
Except, of cause, the N7K doesn't currently do MPLS and won't for
another year, and when it does it will, as always, be released in
fases.
Also, Nexus is positioned for the DC, so there will always be lacking
features when compared to the SP platforms.
'Don't send a switch to do a router's job'.
I'm curious, what is the difference ? I remember the debate (bridge x
switch) in another generation...
Is the N7K is a hard-coded-can't-change forwarding glue (EARL8 at that)
platform, TCAM based, hence the 'switch' term ?
Or in the feature set (control-plane ? forwarding-plane ?)
