A full chassis 8200 and 9200 would be a solid upgrade for all pertinent points.
I don't agree. Cost per port is high compared to running with 4500/45550 setup and can stack 10 deep as it is. Get another pair of 4500/4550 (as it is now) and transition the current people off of the 4200 onto the ports there. This will make it so that the stack is 100% 10Gbe with VC ports creating the mesh. Also, 8200/9200 won't fit in the current space given to the endeavor today. And you'd want a pair, right? 4500 -> 4550 -> 4550 -> 4500 (loop back to 4500) for the rings. -- Mike Horwath, reachable via drechsau@Geeks.ORG
