IPSec VPN 4.1.10 <- 4.3.6

Has anyone tested an IPSec VPN interface mode connection from a 4.3.6 (40C) device into an existing 4.1.10 network? Richard

From the 10,000 foot picture, it should work. The only issue is the buggy 4.3.6 firmware. I had all of my devices on 4.1.10 for many months and they were rock solid between themselves.

Bob, thats what I thought, I didn' t see anyting in the notes about changing default ipsec vpn settings in new firmware revisions. I think it should work but part of me wants my ipsec devices to be on the same firmware build. the good news is that I have a working link between the 40C 4.3.6 and my 110C 4.1.10... I' m planning on upgrading my 4.1.10 system to 4.2.11, did you come across any pains when upgrading your devices?
