I don???t know if I necessarily agree here either. The VC will quickly become a bottleneck if not already (32gb unidirectional traffic).
Dump the 4200 and stack via 128Gbe VC cables (2 of them).
Also, no support for 40/100g.
Lies. EX4550-EM-2QSFP - expansion with 2 40Gbe QSFP+ No 100Gbe though :(
If money is being spent, something like an Arista 7504 or Juniper QFX 5100/5200???s would make more sense here and allow for some growth not entirely based on "more 10g ports".
Doug has Arista running already (for a couple years now I think). He hasn't complained about them. I see Arista all over the place as well. Price per port is very reasonable. -- Mike Horwath, reachable via drechsau@Geeks.ORG
