I probably at least meet the minimum, since the VIP works fine when dCEF is disabled. > How many routes do you have loaded on that router?

I only have 6-7 routes. This router is *very* lightly loaded. I was thinking of upgrading to a VIP4-80 anyway, so I'll either upgrade the memory on this VIP2, or swap it for a VIP4. > FYI, there is the handy 'if-con X' command, which will give you access > to the VIP on slot X.
