Re: (ASCEND) IP Pool leak in a Max2000 (5.0A)
MAX's in the past have had the IP pool leakage problem
for as long as I can remember, It show's it's ugly head
every now and then, I never ran 5.0A so but with my experience
with the Max's I'd have to say your best bet is to go ahead
and upgrade. The show pools will show you right away
if you have fixed the problem.
