It appears to accept it:

l3-1002x(config)#router ?
  bgp       Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
  eigrp     Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
  isis      ISO IS-IS

  ospfv3    OSPFv3
  rip       Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

l3-1002x(config-router)#neighbor 10.3.2.1 remote-as 65002

Since it's on, let's see if I have to pay more for IPv6.

l3-1002x#sh bgp ipv6 neig
BGP neighbor is 2001:1900:2100::1E47,  remote AS 65002, external link
  BGP version 4, remote router ID 0.0.0.0
  BGP state = Idle

Seems not.  That's good.

Also full output of "sh license" is here (I love it when I guess at a
command and it's correct):

This might as well be greek to me.  I have a lot of reading to do on
licensing I think.

Thanks,

Charles
