Thanks to everyone that responded. I appreciate learning how much several of us have in common. I especially liked those that shared stories with me about similar challenges of server and NIC settings for what should be a redundant design with Primary/Secondary configurations. I'll update my recommended options to include a third scenario. 1. Complete blackout to power down each switch and replace it with the new one. 2. Eat the cabling/rack/etc. cost and stand up the new switches and migrate the connections in one night (performing some due diligence ahead of time) and hoping all servers are properly configured for a Primary/Secondary network connection. 3. Eat the cabling/rack/etc. cost and stand up the new switches and migrate slowly over a period of several maintenance windows while hoping we don't have any more line card failures during the extended migration period. Much appreciated, -chris _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
