advice for Nexus Core

[gianluca811]

Hi,

I have a layer 2 lan with low latency device 10 Gbps.

I need to replace the 2 core switches from another vendor to Cisco Nexus as far as I already have 2 access switch Nexus 3546.

Requirement: buy 2 nexus low latency where connect 2 access cisco nexus 3546 + other access switch (other vendor). Multicast very important. Need at list 32 ports SFP based  for each switch.

What kind of Cisco Nexus do you suggest to buy ?

32 ports? what kind of ports? 1G or 10G or higher?

SFP based

So I can put 10 G fiber or 1 G copper and fiber

I am not sure nexus 5k support copper directly, may be you need to use additional media converters probably.

But I could find these options.
