[j-nsp] Code upgrade to 10.4R4.5

[Cyn D.]

Will this be a none (no config loaded at all) and all (if loaded then it is 
intact) situation? What I don't want to see is configuration loaded 
partially and the lines that are not compatible are missing. When you go 
through an intermediate level, does that code "change" the incompatible 
config for you? If it doesn't, even if you have a backup config, it still 
won't load properly, right? We've seen this on some non-juniper routers.

Thanks.

Cindy
