[c-nsp] ME3600X IOS Version

[Faruk Sejdic]

It's hard to say, we're still waiting for right release. :(

We already tried all this versions but all of them have serious bugs.
Even with new 15.2(2)S1 we hit a bug with Multicast Traffic Failure on EVC Interface
In general, if you have EVC on interface configured with IPTV VLAN (mostly multicast traffic)
and tried to add this EVC to an other interface multicast stops.

Cisco TAC says this should be fixed in 15.2(4)S.
:)

I'd recommend 15.2(2)S1.  15.1(2)EY is a branch release which probably
won't have a long lifespan now that these switches have been integrated
into mainline S code.

15.2(2)S1 has been solidly stable for us with the exception of what
appears to be a cosmetic bug in that these messages are printed to the
console:

"Jun 25 17:10:02.164: %SFF8472-3-THRESHOLD_VIOLATION: Te0/2: Rx power
high alarm; Operating value:   1.4 dBm, Threshold value:   0.0 dBm."

I vaguely recall seeing a DDTS Caveat about this problem too.

Otherwise all good, no other issues....and really like the hardware.
