Correct, while one could be brought in with additional cards in both,
that would barely cover us with zero future growth without adding
in a 2nd one. The U of MN expressed interest in a 40Gbps connection,
and doing just one switch would knock that out of contention, (or
we keep the EX4500 and run it knowing that it is EOL, and software will
probably stop being available within 14 months).
