The way we are setup, being STATE government, our agency controls the netw=

Subject: Cisco Nexus
Nanog,
I would like to poll the collective for experiences both positive and negat=
ive with the Nexus line. More specifically I am interested in hearing about=
FEX with N2K at the ToR and if this has indeed made any impact on Opex as =
well as non-obvious shortcomings to using the fabric extenders. Also if any=
one is using any of the Nexus line for I/O convergence (FCoE) I would be in=
terested in hearing your experience with this as well.
Thank you in advance,
-A
