Hey there. dig the list, always have. I am looking to confirm a rumor on the cat 6513 switch. I was thinking of doing gig Ethernet from my server farm to the switch through the core. Only problem, is I am looking at like 70 servers each with a gig port, hopefully Ethernet. This is about 5 blades in the cat 6513, with 16 ports per blade.
Now the rumor. Sounds like cisco's cat 6513 will only support 30 gig backplane for the gig Ethernet line cards. This means theoretical maxing out the switch with 30 Ethernet gig ports to servers running gig nic's. Has anyone else heard this? I think the gig fiber solution scales to a 250 gig backplane, but this gig Ethernet limitation concerns me.... thanks for all responses in advance! jason Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=26272&t=26272 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
