    • My only real criticism of the product is that it's hard to figure out how to upgrade the firmware from the CLI via TFTP via the docs, but it works great once you get it sorted.

    • It is a workhorse for our field operations. It provides the last touch for an ISP to the customer. The customer has no view of the device, but with the repeatability of the device, they do not need to.
    • The ability to roll out a dynamic routing protocol attached to a security zone allows elasticity to the environment that supports growth.
    • VLAN support on the inside interfaces allow this to be the only device in some smaller deployments we install these in.
