Thanks for the quick response... With 6500's in the "middle" between the GSR and the 7200's, will layer2 connectivity function as normal with MPLS? To explain, if I want to use the GSR as the P router and 7206VXR as PE but have layer2 trunks in between these devices (6500's) is there anything that won't function in MPLS? Sorry if this seems like a basic question...

Sup2 can't do any label operations (swap/push/pop), so this rules Sup2 out (you would need OSM or Flexwans). GSRs/E0 and 7200 do MPLS just fine with similar performance as regular IP. > Trying to avoid sup720 and SIP card > deployments in this year's budget if I can but get MPLS running (in a > general sense). You want to look into Sup720 or Sup32 for the 6500s, but using 7200 or GSRs is fine. oli _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
