Dears,
I have this old foundry switch in the warehouse, I have no experience in
Foundry, i wonder if this switch can be upgraded to a newer OS that will
support advanced features or shall i consider it dead,
I want to mainly use it for one customer that wants caching, its L4 i guess
and i have an old NetApp caching server that will save the customer 10MBs i
guess.
