[c-nsp] VPLS PE Redundancy with Supervisor Engine 2T

[Andrew Miehs]

Hi Sander,

It definitely works. A colleague of mine installed one two weeks ago.

I would recommend that you use both ports on the supervisor rather than on
a line card for the VSL (Link).
The 6908 should work for VSL, the 6704 won't - but it can be used for other
traffic.

Regards

Andrew
