[c-nsp] WS-X cards on Cat6500 with VPLS

[Marlon Duksa]

What I  meant is:1) can you run 12.2.(33)SXH software in a 7600 chassis with
SUP720 or
2)  can you run 12.2(33)SRD software on an RSP720 in Cat 6500 chassis?Or is
there a microcode hack in the chassis that prevents this from happening, for
example an epprom in the chassis that would tell that it is 6500 vs 7600?

Thanks,
Marlon
