Cisco Licensing!?
Have you guys come across any info on Cisco’s new licensing models? I noticed the following "stuff" after I couldn’t figure out why I only had like 6 protocol options to match in a class-map on a shiny new 881W router. Looks like feature sets have to be activated now? I loaded the "trial" advipservies and low and behold all of the missing commands were back. I reverted after because an expiration on an IOS can’t be a good thing!

Speaking of which, we've broken the first two rules already
