MPLS Lab using 2651XM's?!

Hi All,

I'm looking to set up an MPLS lab using kit and was wondering if anyone had any experience using 2651XM's for this purpose?!

I threw c2600-advipservicesk9-mz.123-4.T6.bin on one 2651 to check MPLS support and all the commands seem to be there.....

Router-1(config)#mpls ?

  atm          Configure ATM options

  ip           Dynamic MPLS forwarding for IP

  ipv6         Dynamic MPLS forwarding for IPv6

  label        Label properties

  ldp          Label Distribution Protocol

  traffic-eng  Configure Traffic Engineering parameters

As i'm looking at investing in another five 2651XM's does anyone know if the MPLS support in 12.3 is full or cut down? Can i acomplish a full on MPLS lab using this set up or Is it worth investing in different kit? (no GNS3!)

Thanks in advance!

Adi

I just pulled down the last of my pair of 2651XM running MPLS.  IOS was 12.4(25d) and Advance Enterprise feature set.
