Hi ,
to answer your first querry : You can configure the
cisco box as a FRAD and configure UNI switching. Thus
you are shielded from the passport routing entirely (
DPRS in Passports case )
AS Eric has is trying to put across you would run
MPLS for :
1. Traffic Engineering : Using a pAssport network
you could do TE by configuring PVC's to flow through
certain paths
2. MPLS VPN's : YOu can configure MPLS VPN's ,over
FR PVC's but it does not make much sense. ( use the
good ole PVC concept to offer VPN's) Also, in terms of
QOS that needs to be deployed, IT IS A NIGHTMARE
CONFIGURING QOS ( CBWFQ + FRTS ) on the 7500 VIP based
platforms.
