Hi Aaron,

We're not using "vrf autoclassify" but "vrf receive" for xDSL services
on some legacy 7200s and similar. "vrf receive" is not supported on
the our newer LNS devices (ASR1000 series) so I would assume that "vrf
autoclassify" isn't too. I find these features a bit of a hack so if
possible I'd try and move away from them.

Having a quick look on Cisco.com there isn't any recent documentation
for "vrf autoclassify" so I expect it is being phased out (a question
for your account manager). It's a bitch as we've got a bunch of users
that use "vrf receive", which now need migrating but I find the design
ugly and the 7200s are dead for me (R.I.P buddy!).

Cheers,
James.
