The recommended replacement for Multiprotocol Router products is the Secure Router
product portfolio. Please note that the Secure Router products are IP WAN routers and do
not support legacy multiprotocol features of the BayRS family of routers. Secure Routers
provide superior price/performance with advanced features in the areas of Routing, WAN,
VPN, Security, Quality of Service and Network Management.
Technical support for Multiprotocol Router (BayRS) software products will continue through
the normal Nortel Technical Support Center. This notice will also serve as the final EOL
notice for the order codes identified below and no additional notice will be issued.
