And I don't think they will add support for this in Jetcore code like they
did in MLX/XMR code.
You can have kind-of redundancy using the subnet router anycast address
(RFC 3513 section 2.6.1) but that is currently broken on Jetcore (as of
08001w).
I have opened a ticket with brocade about that and a bugfix release for
this is supposed to come at the end of February.

Let me throw in a quick question about IPv6 on Jetcore myself:

Does anyone protect a Jetcore's ssh management using the "ssh access-group
ipv6" feature? I seem to be unable to get that to work (08001v Provider
image).


Thanks,
Philipp
