[f-nsp] IPV6 BGP on FESX

[Charles Hurbert]

Interestingly, the current FastIron Edge X line now has 2 separate 
options for L3 upgrades. The PREM which supports IPv4 only, and the 
PREM6 license which supports IPv4+IPv6. So if you just have a 
FESX624-PREM, you'll be limited to IPv4. You'd need the FESX624-PREM6 
for full IPv6.

Also, just spoke with a SE at Brocade regarding this issue. The NI-CES 
line is meant more as an edge switch and does not currently support IPv6 
(they said they would have a sw upgrade in the near future that would 
support IPv6). IN the Netiron line CER would be the option you'd require.
