The 3K are more generic switches and do not support FEX or Fabricpath
if that's what you are using now... They do support vPC but it is not
managed as a single entity. The newer 6000 series do support FEX,
Fabricpath, etc. And are more similar to the existing 5K.

Hi
We're using Nexus fabric based on 5500 and FEX (Nexus 2000).
Now I'm interested in new Nexus 3000 series and have few questions about
that.

Can we connect our FEX to Nexus 3000 ?
Can few Nexus 3000 works like single virtual fabric and provide functions
like vPC (same as our current Nexus 5500/2000 fabric) ? If yes what about
mixing familes, eg. Nexus 3000 + Nexus 3100 or Nexus 3000 + Nexus 3500 ?

Rob
