Hey Nick: So the 6500 is EARL7 and mpls runs in the ASIC, guess I don' understand the difference between the EARL7 and EARL8. Thought mpls on the 6500 was also hardware is this why the 7K earl 8 does not completely support mpls like the 6500? Besided the idea of the 7K being a 6500 killer... :)
Why did they not make the 7K support pvst+ if the 5K supports it? Guess moving the RSPT is a better idea anyway. Aggreed about the ospf interface style, make much more sense.

The IOS style ospfv2 configuration is all wrong. Nick The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
