Meanwhile found in the 7300 FAQ:

Q. Is GEC supported between the two GE ports on the NSE?
A. No, GEC is not supported at this point; however, it is planned
   for future.

Well, this is for the NSE100 not for the NPE-G100, and it's quite old
a statement, but as we all know, "planned for future" is likely to mean
"never". Like with 3750s that were planned to support IPv6, 7920 phones
which were planned to support WPA/TKIP etc pp...

BTW, as the NPE-G100 seems like a NPE-G1 in disguise, anyone who could
tell whether a NPE-G1 does support GEC?
