Re: Nexus 5K vPC Peer link 1Gb over OM2 Fiber

The traffic is relatively small and they are using 2x1Gb connections today between the current switches. Everything will be vPC attached so as Ryan mentions not much should go over the peer link but yes there is the potential to over subscribe the peer link.

I think I should have asked my question in a different way. Is there any way to use 10Gb with OM2 multimode fiber over a distance of 340m?
