Hi all, Thanks for your comments. I was starting to feel a bit dishearten in picking up v2. Will put in more resources for this.
Am going to be using a CentOS/RHEL setup for this. You got me spot on: I was trying to jump into a running config.. because I was hoping to get one that works, then work there to understand.. Will keep trying, thanks!
