Re: V4.4 to V4.5 Upgrade

I understood that the firewall would continue to operate on a backlevel 
basis. The documentation I have looked at so far indicates that the 
firewall LPP will not be supported under V5R1 but will continue to operate 
under V4R5 although it will not be enhanced.

Is this a hardware dependency thing depending on what type of IPCS it runs 
on or have I missed something in the docs ?

I am facing exactly this issue in the next 4 to 6 weeks so your feedback 
(or anyone else's) is greatly appreciated.

regards
Evan Harris
