Technically you aren't supposed to use the 10G ports on these but they don't enforce this unless you are running the 12.3 code base or later. I think the MX10 licenses two of the 10G ports if you want to "do the right thing" (tm).</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Andrew<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On 13 Jul 2013, at 3:58 pm, Greg M <<a href="mailto:gregm@servu.net.au">gregm@servu.net.au</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
