OT: Nexus5K/3560

Hi:

There are 2 N5K back to back in LACP as VPC peers. I want to connect a
3560, one link going to first 5K and the second to the other 5k and let
STP take care of the loop.
I don't want to VPC them.
Is this possible. My guts is telling me yes. Unfortunately no access to
test.

FYI: I did the 2k/5K VPC last week. works ok. Note that once you do VPC
between the 2K and the 5K, you cannot do VPC for a server connected to the
2k.
Etherchannel is not supported also on the 2K ( a server with 2 legs
connected on the same 2K)
Also, you cannot span a destination port on the 2K. However, you can do
source span.

I think VPC is still fragile as it came out on 31st on July on the 5K so
walk carefully. I lost my 2 X5K by just doing a no spannin vlan 100
on an edge port.
I had to reboot both to restore.
