Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Nexus 2000 vs Catalyst 4948 for access layer
Unfortunally, nexus 2000 is just an
fabric extender and can ONLY be attached to Nexus 5000... Maybe CISCO
changes it's later...
No maybe about it.
10 nexus 2000 using all uplink ports = 40 ports. Yes, 40 ports that I must
use at my nexus 5000. That's more than 1 entirelly switch (1RU) and almost
1
switch (2RU).
I wouldn't recommend designing a network that way.
I haven't figure out yet what's the advantage of having this design (nexus
2000 -> nexus 5000) other than the "old" one (catalyst 4948 -> nexus
7000/cisco 6500). That's what I'm talking about.
Cheap, high density 1g, scalable infrastructure for right now. And, in the
near future, they will throw some fantastic features on top of that.
