This is good to know. I think a lot of people were put off of amber when
the release notes say that you MUST be running 3.8+ for it to work, which
would automatically have excluded any pm2's or irx's. But, you mention
that amber wont allow you to modify static routes, which I bet is
important to IRX users.

I find forsome things, the command line entry works fine, and I suppose
for static routes, hosts, snmp, the command line is fine as long as there
is not too much to enter. I would maybe suggest editing a file with all
the set commands, then echoing it to a command screen, in place of the
missing amber capabilities.
