i have a design scinario for backup email data center, some difficulties faced when trying to match the requirements to Boxes.
the design required a Nexus 5548UP with addition to 2x Virtualized Data center switches, also it required 12 x CPU license for VM Virtual Network Switch. i suggested to add Nexus 1000 series but the consern is can i use it without adding Nexus 2k . if i have to use N2k and N1k what is the best configuration scinario?

Hi Shakeeb,
I don't understand your question very well, but I will try clarify some points.
You don't need a Nexus 2000 if you have enough ports available in your Nexus 5500, even if you will use nexus 1000v.
In this scenario what I recommend to you is connect the both Nexus 5548 each other and create a vpc with upstreams routers and downstream blades and storage.

Thanks Richard,
so i can use Nexus 1000 directly with N 5500, this is a portion from what i am looking for. getting deep in the requirements it seems that solution is near to the VBlock design from cisco.
