Migration Guidance
The Supervisor Engine 720/32 now requires at least 128MB of Compact Flash memory. It is recommended to adopt replacement memory options with larger capacity (128MB, 256MB, or 512MB) to ensure continued operation.
Existing environments using 64MB Compact Flash should transition to the larger memory options listed above. These replacements provide improved capacity and better support for current feature requirements.
Additional Notes
The milestones summarized here support planning for infrastructure transition and replacement activities. Continued monitoring of lifecycle notifications and policy resources is recommended to remain aware of status changes.
