Anthony,

Basically you are going to need to have either some OSM or FlexWAN
modules to run MPLS with your Sup2. The following link gives most of the
limitations you are going to hit:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps368/products_module_configu
ration_guide_chapter09186a00801e5c06.html#wp1208692

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps368/products_module_configu
ration_guide_chapter09186a00801e5c06.html#wp1047631

With Sup720 it can support many more MPLS feature without the need for
OSM modules.

HTH, Rich
