Keep in mind that the feature navigator and the software advisor
only list "officially" supported features. For example you can get MPLS
to run on the 2500s, but it's not listed in the feature navigator as it
would be a no-no to actually enable it on a 2500 in a production MPLS
network.
The 2500s are the perfect platform for practicing standalone
features on. 95% of the topics within the scope of the CCIE lab can be
configured on them. The problem however is that they cannot be
configured simultaneously. You can run IPv6, but not simultaneously
with IS-IS. You can run newer 12.2T features, but not simultaneously
with Enterprise features.
If you're looking for a good all-around feature set to run on
the 2500s, pick the highest 12.1T Enterprise Plus release. This release
will contain all and typically more features than any 12.2 mainline
release. For feature comparison to the 2600s and specific image names
see the following post:
