A reboot I trust, but not the first one after a kernel change. On a weekend I can drive in and see what happened if necessary and switch to a backup router. In our main office I have 2 running side by side and I can log in to the T1 router and change switch ports to swap them. Then a reboot on the router to hasten the MAC changeover. Usually 5 minutes tops.Thank you for the explanation! I wondered, if you would trust it, to come back up, if you scheduled a reboot for 3 A.M.
I just had a perfect example this morning. One of the routers didn't come back up after the upgrades and remote reboot yesterday. I had to have someone at the site powercycle the equipment. Still much easier than having to drive over there myself.
