Peter,
thanks for the excellent response. I have another question: Can I upgrade from earlier versions of CNR? I would like to know if there is documentation on the Community that can provide more details.
Thank you.

Hi Jessica,
We appreciate your interest... and as Peter was not available today I'll jump in with an answer here...
Yes! You can upgrade from earlier versions to the latest CNR 8.x versions but depending on your current version, and what functions in that version you rely on, the answer to what is the best path up to the current latest version can vary... I would suggest you open a TAC case requesting escalation for direct engineering upgrade assisitance to help you come up with a targeted pln for your upgrade...
PS. Please don't be discouraged if you are coming from a much older CNR version as I recently worked with a CNR customer upgrading CNR 3.5 (circa 1999) using Both DHCP and DNS on the same server to CNR 7.x and all went smoothly with granted 4 versions upgrades to get to the final destination...
