Hi I'm running freebsd5.4 on one of our main routers, also running quagga bgp etc. I would like to upgrade the OS to 6.1RC1 to get the better support for CARP on VLAN interfaces.What would the best way be to upgrade with minimum downtime? Here are a list of things I've considered, feel free to add anything you think I've left out * prepare a new hardisk with appropriate OS etc. reboot and plug new disk in and pray * prepare a new router swap cables etc. and hope no ARP cache problems arrive * ghost etc. not sure what software to use any feedback would be helpful Tyrone TeleCityRedbus Sverige Visit: Mariehällsvägen 36 Address: P.O.Box 20165, 161 02 Bromma, SWEDEN Phone: +46 8 799 38 00 - Direct: +46 8 799 38 07 Email: tyrone@telecity.se Internet: http://www.telecity.se <http://www.telecity.se/>; TelecityRedbus is an ISO 9001:2000 & BS7799 certified company Winner - Best Practice in Network and Infrastructure Security 2005, Aberdeen Group DISCLAIMER This e-mail is intended only for the use of the addressees named above and may be confidential.
