I think moving the looking glass makes the most sense right now since it is not critical, and then we can move the route servers during an announced maintenance window.  When we move forward with the maintenance window, do you think it makes sense to have one route server on the new 4200, and the other on the 4550 using an SPF to copper Ethernet converter?

Let's turn up as a LAG with only one of the two links active. Then
activate the second link when we're good and ready.

We could also move one of the route servers or maybe the looking glass
over to the new switch.

We have seen issues in the past where if the link on a high volume port goes down, the MAC gets removed from the forwarding table, and then all of that traffic gets flooded to all other ports until BGP times out.  This seems to be especially problematic when it hits the 1G ports.

Then we would have separate forwarding tables, a place to connect remote switches, as well as something that has some 40G, and 100G capabilities.  All of the uplinks would then be easy to monitor/graph without excessive load on the switch.  Copper SFP+/QSFP+ cables can be used between switches and they are affordable/easy to come by.
