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

I guess I should have put OT on the subject line as this is more real world
related but I hope someone gets something out of it plus I wanted to abuse
the free real world knowledge of people that are subscribed to this list :o)

Many thanks for looking into it.

Unfortunatley this is the distance between the 2 buildings where the
switches are currently located. At the moment the uplinks from the servers
and access switches are only 1Gb which support up to 550m using
standard 1000BASE-SX SFPs over legacy OM2 fiber. There are plans to upgrade
the fiber and eventually move the servers to 10Gb but unfortunately its not
in the current budget. What is in the current budget is a pair of Nexus
which I wanted to impress people with features like vPC but it looks
like they will have to wait.
