The 2600 will run MPLS, but not the 2500.

Watch the wrap. These docs point out
2600/3600/4000/7200/7500/ and up, but no 2500. Also, I couldnt
find a document that says no, but I know when we were
considering 2500s we found one that said that they cant do it.

The PE or provider edge routers start at 2600. The 12.x IOS
release ays it supports MPLS even in the 2500 docs, but I know
you have to use CEF and cant do CEF on a 2500 last I checked.
SO looks like 26--up.
