What is the proposed replacement that doesn't suffer from CEF bugs? [d]CEF rocks... I remember not so long ago installing 11.1CC<mumble> to fix the now infamous ATM SNMP exposure bug... and discovering all sorts of funnies: -- BGP sessions came up and seemed normal -- OSPF adjacencies were formed normally -- from the router you could ping everything adjacent, and and remote -- from adjacent and remote, you could ping the router But, no matter how hard you tried, even explicitly turning CEF off, get the box to forward packets. Nothing would transit the box, not a thing. I even tried "ip routing" in case there somehow it got turned off... The fix was to revert back to the older IOS and completely disable SNMP. According to the docs, the only fix in the new code was the SNMP fix, but the above was quite repeatable accross several routers. --cw --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
