Hi Folks, I'm looking for some feedback on the N5K/2K fex deployments in DC space. Main drivers behind this type of deployment is better ROI from a FCOE perspective and reducing cabling costs through TOR. Considering 5K's can't do L3 and Unified Fabric is still a few years away from realization, are there any environments that are evaluating/using this solution in production and what has been the experience.
Has there been any shortcomings sw/hardware/features/stability wise and how were they mitigated. Since this design inherently extends STP domain from Core/Distribution to the access, have there been any negatives in that regard. Has VPC been used for Active/Active uplinking, any caveats. Ultimately, have anybody opted for the standard EOR/MOR aggregation strategy with pulling copper from server racks to the Aggregation directly over this solution for any technical/strategic reasons. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
