SXD to SRD? That is a pretty major upgrade (and then some), and I've seen nasty upgrade bugs with far far FAR smaller transitions. All I can say is, do NOT attempt this without out of band. Personally my recommendation for going forward is SRC (SRC4 is pretty stable, all things considered). I haven't rechecked SRD recently, but the early versions added some pretty serious bugs that weren't in SRC of the same time-frame, and I can't find any compelling features which necessitate the risk. There are also quite a few large networks who are running large deployments of SRC, and it never hurts to have mass on your side. -- Richard A Steenbergen <[email protected]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC) _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
