Rated 5 out of 5 bydiamond from nullAlthough pricey, these units are great in their media handling capability and can easily service as a core router/switch for medium to large installations. These units are very reliable, very loud, and very configuable. If you don't think you need something like this, you probably don't.

Rated 5 out of 5 byRichard958 from nullExcellent product. We've ran one for over 7 years without a single incidence of unscheduled downtime (and the only scheduled downtime we got with it was when we upgraded the supervisors from CatOS to IOS).

Rated 5 out of 5 byStorageNinja from null20 year service life, a bazillion PPS massive back plane, service modules for every random thing you can think of. The Nexus may beat it in packet pushing, but lacks its general versatility. These things are big, heavy, and the choice of many an carrier for their handoff's in data center's.
