Will this be a none (no config loaded at all) and all (if loaded then it is intact) situation? What I don't want to see is configuration loaded partially and the lines that are not compatible are missing. When you go through an intermediate level, does that code "change" the incompatible config for you? If it doesn't, even if you have a backup config, it still won't load properly, right? We've seen this on some non-juniper routers.

Thanks.

Thanks all for the reply.

I just did an intermediate level and it went through, but still with the
message "unexpected operator", which I've never seen before. Just want to
make sure there is no consequence with the "no-validate" option.

The consequence is, if there is something in your config which isn't
supported under the new code, and you use "no-validate" to skip the
checks that are supposed to catch this, you run the very real risk that
your RE will come back up with no config at all. If all you're doing is
upgrading a backup RE and you have console on it this is relatively easy
to recover from, but if you're expecting your router to come back up and
you have no other way to get into the device and recover it this could
be the start of a very bad day. :)
