[c-nsp] ASR 9000 Newbie question

[John Neiberger]

I found out that these are the 40-port GigE SFP blade and the 8-port
10Gig blades. Cisco advised us to go from 3.7.3 to 3.9.2 for now
instead of jumping straight to 4.0.1. We'll give that a whirl
tomorrow.

I've heard lots of great things about the ASR 9K, but I have to say
that IOS-XR is ugly, ugly, ugly. I'm still looking forward to getting
some of these bad boys fired up in production, though. The ugliness of
the CLI will wear off with familiarity, I'm sure.
