Safe harbor means the release was tested in a number of scenarios and found to be stable. It is a certification basically. > Does the missing "star" imply I can expect less reliability > from SXJ10 compared to SXJ7? No (and actually the "star" is on 15.1.2-SY9, which is the suggested IOS you should be running on new deployments). Just because the latter has a certification while the former doesn't, doesn't imply the latter is more stable. In fact SXJ7 has 4 publicly known vulnerabilities, so I would strongly suggest to run SXJ10 (if you have to stay on the SXJ train, that is). I assume Cisco only does safe harbor testing when customers actually pay for it. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
