 Thanks for your reply Reuben. Cisco FN said it was supported but that 
 would not be the first time it was wrong
 of course. I'ts probably due for an upgrade anyway but need to find the 
 right time to do it. What's interesting is
 I have another 3600 with me360x-universalk9-mz.152-4.S.bin. The 
 adjacency comes up there but it's flapping.

 Maybe it works better in 15.3. Thanks again.
