In my lab two 65xx connected with layer3 interfaces can run EoMPLS
between them. Interface configs are just like: 
in gi X/Y
 no switchport
 ip address .. 
 tag-switching ip 

Never tried that with layer2 interfaces: if they are l2 (switchport)
you have no need in EoMPLS - you may just set these interfaces in trunk 
mode and transmit traffic over vlan...
