Appliances factory image in light of R80.20

[Guy_Maoz]

Hello Mates,

We are moving forward to have R80.20 in appliances factory image, as it becomes the default image in CPUSE.

It is a great opportunity to hear your thoughts about the factory image concept:

• What do you expect to find as the factory image now?
• Do you use the factory image or automatically re-image the device?
• We find CPUSE is widely used. Does the factory image mean anything at this stage?
• Is dual image useful? Is single image enough?
• Do you see different needs for gateways and management appliances?

Let’s have ourselves an open discussion, with the questions above as guidelines.

Cheers!

Let's kick it off:

• What do you expect to find as the factory image now?
  • R80.10 is main stream for all new implementations at the moment, however we still install R77.30 as well
• Do you use the factory image or automatically re-image the device?
  • Depends on the intended customer, as we still have 80% of the management on R77.30
• We find CPUSE is widely used. Does the factory image mean anything at this stage?
  • When the box comes with R77.30 we use CPUSE to move to R80.10
• Is dual image useful? Is single image enough?
  • At this time dual image would sure work for us
• Do you see different needs for gateways and management appliances?
  • As we only use a multi domain setup for management this is for us not applicable.
