[c-nsp] MPLS hardware

[Paul Stewart]

Thanks to EVERYONE so far for the responses.... it's quite helpful.

If we leave the whole VPSL component out and want to do "MPLS" - is there
any documents on Cisco.com that outline what the Sup2 platform is capable of
when it comes to MPLS in general?  Somewhere I would think that Sup2 can do
*some* MPLS stuff or am I just simply wrong? ;)

Thanks,

Paul

That's correct. They need PFC3B-cards to do MPLS. You can do a field
upgrade, mounting a PFC3B(/XL) later though. There are some features
that early Supervisors won't do though, like ERSPAN for HW-version
before 3.2 or something.
