interface card for nexus 7k?

[tiwang]

hi out there

I have been looking on the various io-modules for the nexus 7k - and I must admit - I am a bit in doubt what to select..

I need a io-module which supports L3  at 10 Gig where I for a start will need 6-8 10 gig ports and 2-6 1 gig ports - I would prefer SFP+ modules - which should I select?

Hi,

Go for 8 port if you have strict budget limit for 10 GIG requirement .

And for 1 GIG SFP please use  N7K-M148GS-11

Hi Prasad

Are you sure this would be the best selection here? - as far as I can see the new 48 ports F2 module gives me much more flexibility (I don't think I need the XL option from the 8-port cards) - but I wonder why a 48 ports module is priced at the same price than that m1 8-port xl module
