Sounds like a clever move to cut the revenue stream that pays for Rodney
and other good engineers. Or what?
IOS updates can be bought without support contracts, and for the price
difference you can spend a fair amount of scratching your head about
bugs (and then open a TAC case on another router that can reproduce the
issue).
Cisco marketing folks are *stupid*. "Piss off your customer base" is
not a good way to increase revenue.
gert,
still angered about the decision to delay IPv6 rollout long enough
so that Cat5k RSM and RSFC are already "end of development" - it's
not like IPv6 was promised for 12.1 or so...
(Not to mention that the *faster* of the two, the RSFC, does not
have 64 bit SNMP counters, because there's no 12.2 for it - again
a very customer friendly marketing decision).
