Along these lines, I asked a while back but didn't see a response: Does anyone have any tips on integrating with Cisco routers when deploying MPLS? I haven't gotten too far with it, but the configuration seems vastly different and all the info I have is on Cisco MPLS deployment, so I think I may be getting confused with the "simplicity" on the Foundry gear's implementation. :)
