Can an ASA5500X terminate MPLS

[jasond]

Can an asa5500x running 9.x terminate MPLS in place of an MPLS router?

[Karsten Iwen]

No, the ASA can't terminate MPLS. But are you sure that you really need that? From a customer-perspective, the link to the MPLS-provider-router is a pure IP-link. So you can connect your ASA to an MPLS-provider in that way.

Do you mean can an ASA act as a PE device, ie. it supports MPLS labels and MP-BGP for the VPN routes, then as far as I am aware this is not supported.

If you mean can it act as a CE device running BGP and peering with a PE router then yes because that is just a standard BGP connection and BGP support was added in version 9.2(1) of the software.

Edit - sorry Karsten, didn't see your reply.
