I'm wondering what people think of the 4500X for 10G aggregation.  Due
to the way my fiber is laid out, I need to aggregate the uplinks from
6 buildings back to my core.  Currently I'm using a 3550-12G to
aggregate the current 1G uplinks but I'm going to be starting the
process of upgrading the access switches in these buildings to 2960S
switches soon and would like to take advantage of the 10G uplinks.
Extreme performance isn't a requirement, and I'll probably skip L3 as
well and leave the routing to the Nexus 5548s in the core.  If you
don't like the 4500X what other Cisco switch might you recommend?
