[c-nsp] Any 3xxx Switches support MPLS?

[Dan Armstrong]

As long as I'm inventing features - you know what would really help?  
The ability to "re-stack" QinQ VLANs on one of these inexpensive 
devices, then it wouldn't be such a problem to use cheaper switches on 
the edge, and do MPLS VPNs on your aggregators.


If I could take vlan X,Y, and Z from outer VLAN N, then make a new outer 
VLAN L from VLAN X & Y only and put VLAN Z into outer VLAN M.

Or at the very least if I could make an access port from one of the 
inner Q's in a QinQ VLAN.... that'd even help!
