[c-nsp] MPLS on 2621XM

[Rolf Mendelsohn]

Hi Guys,

MPLS+LDP+iBGP VPNv4 on 2611XM works fine. Just remember you won't be able to 
push high volumes of traffic.

The IOS you want (i tested many of these) is 12.3-mainline SP Services.

Be aware that the fancier / newer features (introduced in 12.2S / 12.4) are 
not available in 12.3-Mainline.

So NO:

MPLS aware netflow
MPLS aware SNMP
other fanicer features.

The config also differs a lot from the 12.4 IOS'es (half of the config uses 
tag-switching and the other half uses mpls).

hit me off-list if u need more info.

cheers
