Hi Expert,

*typo wording error... corrected to avoid the confusion*

Does it mean that i need to disable mls switching to do the *( typo error
"harware")* software based swithing. I cant do the software based switching
because that will not be good for the heavy traffic load considering my
network, which may put hugh CPU load on my 6500 aggregation box.

Regards,
Dave
