This sounds like a familiar site! Cisco has sent me the following regarding the most stable release for the 7200:... Hi Guys, Based on your description of required features ie BGP on a firewall feature set, you will need the following: c7200-ios-mz.12.0-4.T (32/16) <<...>> S72CH-12.0.4T or S72CH-12.0.4T=, which is IP/Firewall. Basically, you could have any of the images for BGP/4 support however, to get Firewall, the image name must include FW (firewall). Please let me know if I can help with anything else.

Have a Cisco 7206 (not the newer VXR model, the older one) and attempted last night to upgrade IOS on it from 11.2(3) to 12.0(7)T. Seemed to run okay (nothing on boot jumped out and said "broken") and pinged various bits of the network, with no problems. Left and went home :)

Got to work this morning to discover "Internet broken". (Eventually) noticed that the 7206 had dropped two static routes, one of which was the default route. Hmmm.. Add them back, and a few minutes later they disappear again. Hmmmm..

Perhaps it's something odd comming from the BGP sessions with the WIX route server? Drop BGP, it still forgets the static routes after a few minutes. At this point we decided to back out of the IOS upgrade, and rebooted with 11.2(3), which has been running fine since.

We do have a 3640 with the same feature set/revision, and it doesn't exhibit this problem. Suggestions? Give up on 12.0(7)T and pick a later release? Give up on the 12.0 tree altogether? Give up on IOS and Cisco altogether? :))
