Do I need "advanced license" to run MPLS on ME3600X?

Those who have dealt with ME3600X switch, can you tell me if I need to purchase the “Advanced Metro IP Access License” in order to run L2/L3 MPLS VPN? The license is $3995 in addition. It is a big cost for us. More specifically, I want to know if the following commands are supported with the license comes with the switch. No advanced MPLS features like traffic engineering is required at this point.

ip vrf vpnA

rd 100:1

route-target export 100:1

route-target import 100:1

Hi dear,

according to the information available on CCO over here

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps6568/ps10956/data_sheet_c78-601946.html

you indeed need to get that license in your gear to let it run MPLS.

The commands highlighted in red should work after that.

HTH,

Ivan.
