[j-nsp] Upgrading from RE-S-2000-4096-S/SCB-MX960-S to RE-S-1800X4-32G-S/SCBE2-MX-S

[Misak Khachatryan]

Hi,

As i remember, you can't mix REs and/or SCBs. Better to save your
configuration to flash, replace all cards and power it up. It's
relatively easy to predict port number changes from DPCE to MPC, so
you can edit configuration accordingly before loading it to updated
router.
