We are looking to upgrade from a NEXUS 5548UP pair and 2 pair of 2248 FEX's. I have kept aside 6 pair of 10G ports to connect to our new switch infrastructure.
We really like the NEXUS 93180LC-EX pair running NX-OS as a new core with 93180YC-EX and 93180TC-EX pairs for access.
Can anyone help in suggesting how to calculate the necessary uplink speeds we will need?
Does the 5548 have any commands I can run to calculate uplink stats since Netflow isn't an option.
I want to just go with 100G uplinks and not even use 40G but I'm being challenged to prove I need the uplink speed.
We do monitor the NEXUS 5548 in SolarWinds NPM. I can get some stats on an interface by interface level.
Just looking to see if there may be a better way.
Thanks
