When we were testing the CER/CES2000 units back in '09, we 
discovered some LDP issues between the device and our 
Juniper M10i's. We had to shift configurations around, and 
eventually got it to work.

Do they have v6 now? I know that was one of the issues we 
had when testing then.

We went with the ME3600X, so haven't played with the 
Brocade's again since.
