[c-nsp] 6500-MSFC2(c6sup22) - MPLS

[Graham Wooden]

Thanks Steinar.  Yes, I do realize that is an old image - only one I could
find that would have the commands I need.  However, now seeing that I need a
different sup engine.  That being said, and I do apologize for repeating
myself (about to suggest to my higher-ups that we need to spend more $$$),
that with a 6500 and a Sup720-3B - that I can enter the MPLS domain and do
EoMPLS on the Rj-45 without the requirement of any optical on the MPLS
domain?  That is my goal - to serve all this out of say the ws-x6248-rj45
cards.  

Anything I need to be on the lookout with the Sup720-3B?  Like Flash/RAM
size requirements?  Is the sw train c6sup222 acceptable?

Thanks again,
