Re: Nexus 5010 as router?

That's correct (5548/5596), but understand the limitations. You're limited
to 160Gbps throughput. It doesn't support typical campus features like
DHCP server, NAT, NTP server, IPv6 routing, Netflow in hardware. It also
doesn't support ISSU in L3 mode, and you're limited to 8 FEXs.

Other than that, it should do just fine. There is something else coming
for smaller deployments...
