[c-nsp] Few questions regarding fixed vs modular and when which is better.

[Dean Smith]

Surely 2 basic Switches - With Servers dual homed across giving you
independent uplinks to the core, dual control planes and dual power etc
gives far better resilience at the price point than a simple switch with an
extra PSU ?

Still "full L3" with the L3 price tag.

Something like a 2960G-24TC with dual power would be cool.
