I'm using 08.0.01pT53 on IronCore B8GMR3 in BigIron 15000 and BigIron 8000 and doesn't seem any worse off than 7.x. It added "dual mode" ports which I need for VOIP vlan. I experienced some ARP cache corruption on our Cisco ASA5550 firewall from the DMZ vlan so I moved the vlan to a separate switch and the problem stopped.<div>

Are you certain it won't do 7.6.05 boot code in one shot? The 8.0 release<br>
notes say it should be possible. The operational code, however, is<br>
definitely a 2-step process:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
"To summarize, if you are upgrading from a pre-07.6.01 release to release<br>
08.0.00:<br>
<br>
1.Upgrade the boot code on the management module to version 07.6.05.<br>
<br>
2.Upgrade the flash code on the management module to version 07.6.01, then<br>
reload the software.<br>
<br>
3.Upgrade the flash code on the management module to version 08.0.00, then<br>
reload the software."<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Foundry recommended the 7.8 code tree for the IronCore systems, and 8.x for<br>
the JetCore systems, although 8.x is running on one of my lab IronCore<br>
systems and seems to work okay.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If you're having problems with 7.6.05, the oldest boot code I have for my<br>
BigIron 4000 chassis is 7.6.02. I can send it off-list if you'd like to try<br>
it.<br>

Subject: [f-nsp] Upgrading B8GMR3 from very old code<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hey all--<br>
<br>
I'm trying to upgrade a B8GMR3 with 7.1.18 code and 7.01.08 boot code. The<br>
card definitely won't jump to M2B07605.bin boot code in one shot, but that's<br>
the only boot code on the Knowledge Base. Does anyone have any experience<br>
making the leap from this ancient code to a more reasonable, up-to-date one?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
--Chuck<br>
