[c-nsp] MPLS on 6500 VSS - Any major issues?

[Dikkema, Michael (Business Technology)]

I'm about to setup MPLS and MPLS VPN on a set of 6500 VSS systems shortly. I was wondering if there are any obvious gotchas that I should be concerned about. We're not doing MPLS-TE or QoS here, pretty straight forward setup.

Got this error message configuring BGP for a VRF before 'mpls ip' was even configured and got a little concerned:

Oct  9 10:41:50.119: %LFD-SW1_CFC3-6-RESOURCE: MPLS supported in hardware forwarding only
Oct  9 10:41:50.123: %LFD-SW2_CFC3-6-RESOURCE: MPLS supported in hardware forwarding only

VS-S720 Supervisors, 1 per chassis. SXJ1 Adv IP Services software.
WS-X6708-10GE and WS-X6724-SFP line cards. 

Thanks in advance.
