Hi Marc, The 1000v and 1010 give you a Cisco'ized version of the Vswitch. All the cool things that can be done on a 3560/3750 are now available to VM Guests. (Minus L3 functionality and a few other features). So SPAN and RSPAN can be done from the 1000v. You also have MQC and real queue's. Port-profile's are a huge time saver. Private VLans to keep hosts on the same broadcast domain from talking to each other ...etc
Here's a good link that describes most of the functionality ... http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps9902/data_sheet_c78-492971.html We have 100's of these deployed in the network and love them so far. They give the network side of the house much more granular control of the VM's at the guest level. -- max On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 1:35 PM, marc abel <[email protected]> wrote: > Can someone explain to me the value proposition in the Cisco virtual VMware > switch?
