As a side note, you might also want to upgrade and enabling MPF
(multi-processor forwarding) to increase scalability for the LAC.. See
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123newft
/123limit/123x/123xi7/mpf123t7.htm for details and make sure the
features you are using are supported on the 2nd CPU.
This feature might require a special license, please check with your
partner/distributor..

P.S: "cisco-bba" would likely be a more appropriate list for this
topic..
