But I still need RS232 as well, so I'm building 3 networks, on-band, RS232 and FXP0. BOM for proper OOB port in place of FXP, which connect to its own memory, cpu (think of vPro or CMP) is not significant. You can buy new vPro motherboard for like 50EUR. > pciconf -lv on your RE can point out just how simple an embedded pc > you're actually dealing with, there's not a lot of magic there. I actually talked to freescale about this, and they said they have something in works to this end, to deliver OOB ethernet. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
