For those of you that have used the Cisco Nexus 3064, what can you tell me about this switch? The used market on eBay is flooded with these switches at around $500 each which seems like a hell of a deal for a 48 port 10G switch with 4 40G uplinks.
We don't have Cisco only Juniper experience, so I don't know much about these switches. From what I can tell they are EOLed, but it looks like Cisco is still producing software for them? What confusing to me is it seems Cisco has like 6 different operating systems, and this one runs the Nexus operating system which I know nothing about. How dos it compare to Juniper? We traditionally use something like a Juniper QFX5100 for this port count and density. How does the Nexus 3064 compare to a QFX5100? A used QFX5100 goes fro around $3000, so for the same price I could buy 6 of these Nexus 3064's. There are multiple models of the 3064, so please let me know if these are any big gotchas to know about. Does the Nexus 3064 support MPLS? VPLS? Routing using OSPF and BGP? _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
