We have about a dozen 2148Ts connected to 4 Nexus 5Ks and a couple of 7Ks I would absolutely NOT pick the 2148Ts for just switching unless you had some larger data center needs; they and their "parent" 5Ks don't route .. .so we do some ( and we wanted to) vlan tagging on servers to bypass routing. I will say that "show log last 20" is worth every penny :) They are stable if you hook them up right - currently you can not do active/active with a FEX connected to multiple 5Ks & do LACP teaming to servers. Got question - shoot them on over ... _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
