[c-nsp] Need help understanding mpls error message

[Lobo]

Hmmm good point Peter.  I didn't realize that it wouldn't show up in the 
FIB.  VLAN 101 should be a trusted interface since only NMS type of 
traffic is supposed to traverse on it for this part of the network.

I'll see if there's a way to hook up a packet sniffer to that 6524 and 
see if I can figure out the MAC address from there.

Thanks.

Jose
