Hi !
 
We did some testing on that but only for the full VPN Support and RIPv2 as routing protocol and that seems to work fine-
But Cisco told us they will not (yet) 'support' this solution.
 
A supported alternative woukld be the 3600series
 
Cheers,

Dear All,

I have been struggling a bit to get information on what features in regard to MPLS VPN deployments are supported on what Cisco routers.

What are the additional features that are available on the Cisco 7206 series as compared to the Cisco 36xx series from an MPLS VPN perspective. When would I choose the Cisco 7206 as against the 36xx in an MPLS deployment. I do understand that the Cisco 7206 is a bigger guy supporting a wide variety of interfaces, & is ideal for core deployment. But from an MPLS feature perspective, what could be difference between the two.

Can a 26xx be deployed as an MPLS PE device with the following -

1. Complete support for the MPLS VPN.

2. OSPF PE-CE routing support

3. Capable of Traffic engineering using RSVP.

Kindly pls advise me.

With warm regards,
Vinod.
