I'm not sure about the 4500 series supporting MPLS, but haven't tried to
look either. Your topology seems fine, although you may consider
creating more PE's and less P's, since the P's really don't do anything
exciting other than pass the labels 'n' such. Most of the exciting and
complicated stuff happens on the PE's.
In any event, why are you doing this? Just for fun? It's a C&S topic,
not an R&S one. No sense stressing yourself out if you do't need to!
Just curious.
Scott

Subject: RE: What is the minimum HW requrement to run MPLS
Thank you for reply.
I am thinking to set up home lab as following
Provider Edge router(PE) x2
Provider router(P) x2
CE router
MBGP and OSPF run between PE routers and
OSPF run between P and PE.
Static,BGP will be using between PE and CE router.
Does 2600 or 4500M router support under above
environment?
