Ok let me clarify a bit ...

2500 does not support MPLS simply because 2500 business unit decided so. 

For lab trials, education etc ... Almost a year back Oct 20 2001 I have
compiled totally unsupported image which can be used on 2500 to run MPLS
and even some MPLS based applications (L3VPNs, TE etc ...) The location
is: ftp://ftp-eng.cisco.com/rraszuk/specials/ name: *20oct2001 

Feell free to play with it but don't call tac or complain when something
is not working !
