[c-nsp] WS-X6704-10GE and MPLS

[Youssef Bengelloun-Zahr]

Hello,

Thanks Pete. Yes, got access to it. Looks I'm hit by this bug :

*on bootup message "MPLS software is disabled on this linecard" displayed *
*Symptom:*

on bootup message MPLS software is disabled on this linecard displayed

on bootup following messages are seen

ZEAL#sh log | i MPLS
*Dec 10 16:15:00.551: %LFD-CFC7-6-RESOURCE: MPLS software is disabled on
this
linecard*Dec 10 16:20:07.063: %LFD-CFC7-6-RESOURCE: MPLS software is
disabled on this
linecard

*Conditions:*

message can be displayed on any line card with the functionality: "line
cards where MPLS related activity will not be handled MPLS software and they
are handled by MPLS h/w(handled by the centralized EARL)."

Example: CFC line card has such functionality.

On CFC line cards while bootup this message will be seen

*Workaround:*

message displaying changed to "MPLS supported in hardware forwarding only"

*Further Problem Description:*

So, purely cosmetic, right ? MPLS will still be handled by hardware ?

Regards.

Y.
