[c-nsp] top of rack switch recommendations

[Stephen Cobb]

Hopefully all you need to know for the Ciscos that support IPv6 hw
forwarding:

<http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipv6/configuration/guide/ip6-roadmap.html#wp1060772>3560-E's
forward at 128gbps and 3560/G's forward at 32gbps. 3560-E's also have 10gig
X2 uplinks, which you'll want. Assuming you're not stacking anything and
don't need the 3750-E version, here's what you want to look into:

WS-C3560E-48PD-E ~ $8k on the used market (48 10/100/1000 and 2 X2, IP
Services IOS for the features you want)
