the current generation of n2k: - does not support 10/100, only 1000 - has serious etherchannel limitations - no netflow - no rspan / erspan It's an interesting switch which should improve lots in the next generation of hardware. But right now, it is very specifically aimed at a particular niche. For that niche, it will perform very well indeed, but it's not really a general purpose access switch. wrt NX-OS vs. IOS, they are two different systems. NX-OS is very young in its development cycle; IOS is much more mature and has many more features.
