Re: [foxboro] new HOST

Your CP will still reboot from the new host. Host changing has never
affected a CP's abiltiy to reboot.
History:
Changing of the host in the past would affect the ability of a CP to
download a FBM on it's fieldbus.
The FBM would make the request to the CP, then the CP to the host MAC that
was "registered" in it's memory.
The FBM would not download because that host MAC was no longer available.
The CP would then have to be rebooted to "register" the new host MAC in it's
memory.
A utility called cp_util was also used if needed to force the MAC into the
CP without a reboot.

After 6.4 I/A version...this is no longer an issue.
