Hi Ches,
I’m probably going to have the opportunity to deploy 7.1.3.0 on a standalone ERS 8606 sometime this week or early next week.
I’ll probably post my experiences back on the discussion forum in this thread.
I’m going to be upgrading all my IST/SMLT clusters (7 of them) to 5.1.7.0 over the next two weeks. I’ve had a few LANE lockup issues bit me. Hoping they are less frequent in 5.1.7.0 software.
Cheers!

Lots of good features in this release! We’ve been asking for dynamic VLAN additions for a long time.
There’s even a fix for one of our bugs, which is nice.
