[c-nsp] Nexus 5000?

[Tony Varriale]

It sounds like you aren't using FC through them, so I'm guessing they were 
positioned as a high density, low cost 10g solution.  Along with being 
cheaper, they will also be more green.

The 2ks are high density low cost 1g solutions.

Note there is no layer 3 on the 5ks at this time.
