Thanks Michele for sharing the feedback you received on this.
Our cisco sales rep is telling us that he has never heard of Nexus used as a campus distribution-layer and is trying to convince us that that Catalyst 6807 is the right choice (instead of Nexus 56128P), even though we would get less 10Gig port-density, 1:2 oversubscription, 5x more RU used, at least twice the power consumption, etc... and all of this for twice the price! Are there other people out there using Nexus (3x00 ? 5x00? 6x00 7x00?) at the distribution-layer of medium-sized campus? Medium-sized being about 60 access-layer closets with dual 10 Gig uplink each and a small server-farm. On the downside I hear that the "orphan port" scenario with vPC may be a pain in the back side? I still need to read the details of this. Is anyone running vPC at the distribution-layer of a campus environment?
