That is understandable, my concern is some of the documentation and pre-sales information was vague to confusing as to what supports what, and until you gain support access and dig into magic “system-max” options, some of the default limits out of the box are incredibly low, and might lead someone to worry the box won’t do what it was purchased to do.

> You can do both BGP and MPLS on a CES with the caveat that the FIB size is smaller (as expected). To do both on the CES, you need both the Layer 4 Premium and the Metro Edge Premium software upgrade licenses installed on the same switch. The CER licensing model is different.
