Router upgrade....

[Tyrone.VanDerHaar at TelecityRedbus.com]

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
