Hi,
> Cisco recommends use of Nexus switches as datacenter switches.
> Nexus 5000 as the main switch, 10GE ports, Nexus 2000 as additional switches, connected to 5K using 10GE/20GE.

..and thankfully you can buy a Nexus switch or 2 now.

okay, rewind to BN  (before Nexus) - and what would be the sane
or logical choice then?  eg, in Cisco land , 4900M, 3750
or 6500ME  8-)
