weird....
Most of our routers are remote - like as in REMOTE..!!! - long way from us and I would never think of upgrading if there was an issue -because "hard-reset" means a LOT of kilomoters on the vehicles....
We upload to our central BSS behind the office and let the new OS run there for a couple of days and then distribute it across the links and then auto-upgrade the Edge Routers from there...
(the clients are done sperately - on a schedule)
Not one gave an issue - not one... all runing rock solid...
I cannot (will not) allow myself to even think of the chaos if "something" went wrong..!!!!! I think I'd move to Latvia..!!!
