we have tried to use the Cisco Hierarchical model as close as possible. we now have the need for 10 gig servers. we have a 7k, 5k, 6500, and 2960's in our network. we have some open 10 gig ports on our 5k. where is the best place to connect the 10gig servers. or is there a more preferred way to connect these new servers? what are some other options we may have? a 10 gig blade for the 6500, the new 6001 switch?
7k at the core
5k and 6500 at distribution
2960 at access.
thanks
Billy
