Nexus 5548UP and 2248TP airflow

[Nick wfd]

                   Hi,

We are in the process of installing the Nexus 5k and 2K switches and i had a question regarding airflow.

The Nexus 2248TP is standard airflow - will the switch ports and server nic be aligned?

We will be installing the Nexus 5k in the network rack along with 4500x

The Nexus 5548UP is Front to Back Airflow(Port-Side Outlet)  - will the ports of both 5K and 4500x be aligned or in reverse.

Thanks

Hi,

Not sure about the 4500X airflow, but as for the 5ks and 2ks, the port should aligned with server ports.  So, you go directly form the server NIC to the switch.
