As long as it's an operational hazard to run core boxes (with some vendors anyway) with older piece of code than six months, you end up engineering convergence into the networks.Odd, I think most people would say it's an operational hazard to run code newer than 6 months old, or at least with less than 6 months of testing on any particular image.
With all the recent software secuirty advisories that affect many vendors (ssh, snmp, etc..) running anything older than that is a blatant security risk for anyones network. Not keeping up-to-date on these items and thinking you're fine is just asking to be brought down.
How they're able to completely break so many critically important things within 2 weeks between a bugfix code rev is still beyond me. :)
I'm not sure what vendor you are refering to, but i've not seen any problems like this anytime in the past 6+ months. - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared () puck nether net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
