MLS on 6513

[p21]

I have a 6513 with SUP2-2GE (CatOS 8.2.1 and MFSC 12.1(8a)E4) When i do "show mls rp" it says multilayer switching is disabled but on the switch when is "show mls" the "total packets switched" is incrementing and I can see entries for "sh mls entry cef ip long" So it the 6513 doing MLS or not?

Do not issue the show mls rp command on the MSFC. This command output indicates that MLS is disabled. However, the show mls command output issued on the Supervisor Engine above indicated that MLS was working correctly. This discrepancy occurs because the show mls rp command should be used when doing MLS-rp in conjunction with a Catalyst 5000 switch.
