That's interesting, have you seen any other 'gotchas' with 12.2R3? I'm
running a 11.3 version and desperately want NSSU (among other things)
and have a similar setup, lag/lacp/vlan termination/routing/ospf(v3).
Does 3rd party transceivers work? How is missing licenses handled
(enforced/warnings)?

Thanks!
