Cell mode MPLS using LS1010

[srikanth]

I would like to know if it is possible to configure Cell mode MPLS between routers with ATM interfaces and LS1010 as a switch. I want to run MPLS on the LS1010. I tried looking at Feature navigator and Software advisor, but the tools display the feature as being supported only on Catalyst 8510 and 8540 switches. If the feature is supported on LS1010, please let me know what version of IOS should be used.

try running a cat8510msr image in your LS1010. If you have an LS1010 with an ASP with a PFQ featurecard, it would not suprise me if you turned your LS1010 into a MPLS enabled cat8510MSR... No guarantees however

This should not be a problem as described in the following URL:

Hardware and Software Requirements and Restrictions (Catalyst 8510 MSR and

LightStream 1010)

The Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 ATM switch router hardware requirements for tag switching include the following:

- The ATM switch router (used as a tag switch).

- A switch processor feature card installed on the route processor, if you want to enable VC merge (multipoint-to-point connection). Note that FC-PFQ requires 64 MB of DRAM.

- A tag edged router such as a Cisco 7000 RSP with an OC-3 AIP installed.

Looking at the config guides, this feature was available even back since 12.0 software for the LS1010
