Upgrading Routers from Version 7-9.xx to Version 10.0
A-6
Features Associated with PROM Upgrades
Table A-1 describes router features implemented between Versions 7.70 and 9.xx
that require a new version of Boot PROM. Upgrade the Boot PROM if the features
you need depend on a Boot PROM version more recent than the version now in
your router.
Note: The Boot PROM version that appears in the AFN MIB corresponds to
the version of the AFN Diagnostics PROM code. (The AFN has a combined
Boot/Diagnostic PROM device.)
