I had seen a presentation where with SIP-400 and SXI you could have VPLS on the 
6500.

AFAIK VPLS is not supported on the Catalyst 6500 series. You should
upgrade to the 7600 series with enhanced core facing interfaces, such as
ES-cards or SIP-400/600 cards.

Thanks Arie. But ES cards are not supported on Cat6500, no? And also VPLS
over MPLS on a SIP in Cat6500 - is it supported? If so do you know which
SIP?Thanks,
Marlon

Marlon,

If you have DFCs on the regular LAN cards, then EoMPLS and L3VPN will be
done in hardware and in distributed forwarding mode.
For VPLS, you need to have either an ES20/ES40 card or a SIP card facing
the core. Having this card means that again VPLS is done in hardware -
some functionality is done on the regular DFCs and some on the egress
core facing module.

Subject: [c-nsp] MPLS/IP-VPN capable cards on Cat 6500

Hi -Does anyone know which cards on Cat6500 support MPLS
and separately IP-VPN, posibly at 40Gbps throughput? I'm looking for a
distributed (DFC) forwarding solution?

I know that Cat6500 is very limited in VPLS support, but IP-VPN and
EoMPLS
should be no problem, right?

Thanks,
Marlon
