Yes - the 5548 does routing. We have 2x 5548UP's with the Layer 3 daughtercard in our small corporate DC. It does routing, yes, but you need to be aware of caveats around the feature. I suppose you could say that about any Cisco switch, but bear in mind that NX-OS is aimed and targeted at

Hi Pete, I am not pushing line rate on the card; it's maybe doing 20Mb at any given time. I think my problem is the type of traffic; it's mostly SIP/RTP traffic and I am afraid those small packets is what is causing the issues. I went ahead and tweaked the buffers and cleared the counters. I

Just to provide another data point / opinion... We have 3560, 3560X, 3750, 3750E, 3750X all deployed, typically as CE routers. We are moving to 3750s to stack for redundancy. Most are well-behaved with a few exceptions... Any of the X-series with a microcode update can take 30 minutes or more

Right, but there was no incremental chassis for the 6509's. From what I can tell, they released the4500-E's to upgrade from the legacy 6G backplane to 24G. Then EOS'd them 3 years later when they figured out how to make the boxes line rate. I'm not sure I see the point in this, but I don't have
