[c-nsp] 2821 as a BGP Route Reflector

[Rodney Dunn]

12.2(25)S images are on CCO for the 7301.

Not for the 7304 though.  That is because there
were core CEF changes to support MPLS HA done
and the hardware implementations on the 7304 were
not yet ready when 12.2(25)S went out the door.

The 7304 will be shipping a bit later.  The 7301
is a software based forwarding only architecture
so the changes there were less impacting.
That's why the 72xx and 75xx images are also there
for 12.2(25)S.

You should go with 25S1 if you upgrade currently.
