Re: New VTL install issue

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

How about twinax cables? They are cheap compared to SFP+Fibre and they work
in the same SFP+ slots...
I have worked with Lenovo 10GB switches without any issues... NE1032 were
the model. They work pretty much like a Cisco switch and I didn't have any
issues with VLANs, vLAGs, redundancy, etc.
