Catalyst 8510 MSR as PE?

[PerseusDK]

Hi there

In order to prolong the life of some of our old Cat8510MSR, I was wondering whether the could be used for PEs in a MPLS network.

The switch is equiped with ATM router module (not the enhanced) and standard RAM config.

We are going to replace these switches with 7600s, but until this happens, it could be quite good to reuse these switches in the smaller parts of the network.

Hi,

According to:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/hw/switches/ps718/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a008047b9d3.html#wp1066738

you required the Enhanced ATM ROuter Module to support MPLS on the 8510MSR.

Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.
