Thanks RAS.. that's interesting as we've never actually tried that... Have you tried this in a production environment or would you? Do we have any idea on whether or not JTAC would support this configuration officially?
I realize these are loaded questions - just really curious on this topic as it opens up some "new possibilities" for us in some deployments... Our SE basically told us to "run" from this idea previously...

As long as they're reasonably similar it should work fine. For MX that pretty much means RE-2000 and RE-1300, you have no hope in hell of mismatching the new ones (RE-1800x2/4, which require 64-bit JUNOS) with the old ones. For some definition of work of course (for all of the active redundancy), where in my experience the answer is "it doesn't". :) -- 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) _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
