We've deployed a pair of Nexus 6001 as a L2/L3 Aggregation in a multi-tenant DC.
The Nexus 6001 runs vPC and HSRP for redundancy and multiple VRFs. They are then connected to a pair of ASR9Ks. OSPF between Nexus 6001 and ASR. So far we're very happy with the setup /Ulrik Ivers -----Original Message----- From: cisco-nsp [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Antoine Monnier Sent: den 11 april 2014 16:02 To: Gert Doering; Pete Templin; [email protected] Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Cisco Switch Portfolio Miss Hi list, 6 months later, any additional feedback on those Nexus 3000 or 6001 box? Anyone has experience with the newer Nexus 3100/5600 ? (are they even shipping?) We are looking at different options for a small DC setup and were wondering on the maturity of those different products.
