Where are you coming from, and what are you looking for?

12.2(18)S has no multitopo IS-IS and no "feature-complete" IPv6
multicast (e.g. no embedded-RP support). If you need either of that,
you'd have to go to 12.3T. I'm not sure wether 12.3 mainline has one
of those already, I doubt.

Beware of 12.2(18)S' level 7 password scrambler bug. Expect some of
your passwords in your config to stop working (workaround: re-add them
as plain text to have IOS re-code it). Same fun again when you migrate
away from 12.2(18)S. It's beyond me why Cisco didn't fix it in a 18S
rebuild but kept on having it broken in all 18S* known to me. Perhaps
they fixed it meanwhile, can someone clarify?


Best regards,
Daniel
