[c-nsp] Why does the ME3600X not support VLAN mapping?

[Richard Hartmann]

Hi all,

I am somewhat confused/annoyed by the ME 3600X's lack of support for
VLAN mapping.

The ME-C3750 offers this, listing the feature as "metro Ethernet
service" for obvious reasons. I would go as far as saying that this
is, in fact, a requirement for a device sold as offering ME
capabilities.


>From what I understand of the hardware side, this should be a
software, not a hardware, limitation. Is anyone able to
confirm/falsify this? Assuming it's a software issue, has anyone heard
of an ETA for this highly advanced and cutting-edge technology's
arrival on the poor, down-trodden ME 3600X?


Thanks,
Richard
