We’d also talked about add-in modules for the current ex4500-40f switch that could add up to 8 more 10G ports in 2 group of 4 at a time as a temporary fix until our 4th generation hardware setup is ready. I believe the part number is EX4500-UM-4XSFP, otherwise another switch and thoughtful port utilization to avoid over-stuffing the stacking cables is probably our best bet in the medium-term.

I think the low port count means that we need a switch sooner rather than later. I know there is a formal proposal in the works, however another 4500 may be the quick solution, and if we look at it from the viewpoint of if all of our current traffic had to flow between switches, we would not max it out, so another switch could buy us some time, while still being able to utilize most of the ports before any real bandwidth limitations. I think a call for donations/optional bill would draw in far more than enough cash.

Yesterday Google turned up their IPv6 advertisements, and the rush of additional traffic required HE to add a second 10G port on the exchange - they now have Xe-0/0/3 and Xe-0/0/13 as LAG bundle Ae6.
Thanks to Jeremy for coordinating everything.
By my count we’ve got four free 10G ports on the main switch, plus a couple allocated that haven’t turned up.
