Thanks Guys, I am using 7200s in dynamips with 12.2S code. In fact, this is
a mock set up of vol 2 lab 4, I just took everything else out of the
equation. I started from scratch just doing the MPLS VPN scenarios. Even R2
is not doing anything (ospf or ldp) right now. I am also just using physical
interfaces on my frame relay cloud :) I don't see the client tagging the
packets but I could look deeper into this. It's just amazing that is every 3
minutes pretty much on the dot! I wonder if it's some type of CSC bug having
to do with MPLS on the VRF interface...I will do some more testing and let
you know.
