Tim,
MPLS will run on a 4500M, but you'd be happier with a 4700M+ because the
4500M will only accept 32MB DRAM while the 4700M will accept 64MB DRAM. The
4500M will occasionally "write erase" and "reload" just at the worst times
... when you've got lots of things configured. I'm running Enterprise Plus
12.2(7) on the 4700M+ routers and Enterprise Plus 12.2(6) on the 4500M (same
IOS image can run on both 4500/4700).
My 2500 running Enterprise Plus 12.2(1) does CEF but does not do MPLS; don't
know about later versions. My 2600 running Enterprise Plus 12.2.(6) does
MPLS.
HTH, Kym
