Re: So, 11.3 anyone?

  • From: jlixfeld
  • Date: Thu Mar 12 12:34:10 1998

Anyone aware of any bugs in 11.2(12)P that would effect:

NPE-200
HSSI NPM
4Port Serial NPM
4Port Ethernet NPM
8Port Ethernet NPM
1Port FastEthernet NPM
I/O controller with integrated MII running as FastEthernet0/0
BGP4
OSPF
Flat static routes

I know what the CCO says, but I'm wondering if anyone has any real-life
experience.
