Purely L2, all eth...Id like 2 separate agg boxes, but dual links from TOR switches, to 2 "independent" switches would be difficult (i.e. how to have all vlans go to both switches, and handle a failure of one of them "automatically"...all the cust vlans are trunked up to ME's and ASR's for L3.

Cheers.
