I'm not from a Cisco background, so forgive me, but.. What a strange
way to configure a router.  You have to configure it in a non-intuitive
way because the intuitive way will blow up the router?  I guess we should
be thankful that IOS lets us get around hardware limitations of the box, but
someone should really teach Cisco a concept called "SMP".  Just an
observation..
