Oh my god… I’m going to be consultant shopping. That’s well above my pay grade.

If you’re not looking for any new features from IOS and simply want to have a secure/patched version, is there any option at all to park in XE and stay there? There’s a handful of these that have become pretty dumb big routers w/very simple BGP and not much else due to the world moving to metro-e as the go-to access option.
