[j-nsp] VPLS Hardware Not present

[Keegan Holley]

Ok, I'm stumped.  Configuring vpls and everything seems to be working but
the local router interfaces.  They come up as NP or hardware not present.
The DPC and pic are up and working fine and I've tried it with "tunnel
bandwidth 1g" configured under the chassis stanza as well as no tunnel
services under vpls protocols.  I have a pretty good grasp of vpls
configuration, but I'm sensing a juniper nuance that I don't remember.  Does
this ring any bells for anyone?

Thanks,

Keegan
