[j-nsp] j2300 failure rate

[Tim Coble]

Has anyone else had issues with j2300 hardware failures?  Four out of 
the 11 that we have purchased and deployed have had various hardware 
failures.  Two of them had dead fpc's, one had a bad flash card which 
required an rma for the whole box since the flash card has no serial 
number, and the last one had a bad T1 interface that continuously 
dropped the link.

Is anyone else seeing these problems?  I would say that I got a bad 
batch if they all had the same problem, but I have had three different 
hardware failures on the four dead routers...

Should I just chalk this up to bad luck or a cheap product?

thanks,
