As I was going through reading all these replies, the one thing that continued to poke at me was the requirement of the signed binaries and microcode. The same goes for many of the Cisco binaries, without direct assistance, which is unclear at this point through the cloud of smoke so to speak, it would be difficult to load this code post implementation or manufacturing.
Signed binaries?? Surely you jest... Try download *anything* from Cisco TAC these days with a new browser and latest Java and see how many exceptions you have to make to get an "allegedly" legitimate copy of "anything". If you don't like it, open a TAC case, and count the number of exceptions you have to make to get to THAT point as well. And of course they'll want you to upload a "show tech" first thing, and see how many MORE exceptions you have to make to get that to work. Geez, just open ASDM today I have to honor Java exceptions. We're all getting far too conditioned for the "click OK to proceed" overload, and the sources aren't helping. Jeff
