[c-nsp] problem running MPLS on 6509-E 12.2(18)SXF7

[Reinhold Fischer]

Nasir,

looks like you are running the modular IOS flavour on this box.
As far as i know modular IOS has no MPLS yet. Run the normal,
non-modular version and you should be fine.

Reinhold

Nasir,

looks like you are running the modular IOS flavour on this box.
The "vz" in the image file name indicates this.

As far as i know modular IOS has no MPLS yet. Run the normal,
monolithic version and you should be fine.
