Peter and Mike: FYI, the OBP issue that I refer to only impact older platforms like Sun Blade 1500/2500. The issue were fixed in OBP 4.22.31. If your OBP is higher than OBP 4.22.31, then you have the fix. The bugid is 6546593
6546593 - WANboot should not reflect packets The bugid 6841969 cover older platforms that does not have OBP updates but still need to get wanboot/AI to work. mary ding wrote: > Mike and Peter: > > This is a known issue with wanboot and it impacts several platforms.
