& then you have people like me, who just can't leave well enough alone. I
upgraded the 7513 @ my old job. I added VIP's (replacing the old AIP's) &
an RSP4 in a "working" Nortel/ Cisco LANE environment. Although- I can
prove I repaired the RSP2's over-utilization problems (by removing the AIP's
that feed off of the RSP), I was not able to correct the "new" problem of
needing reboot the router once a week to keep LANE clients established :o)
