Thanks Stoffi, Oli..

The VLAN was SVI-based on the ME6524. I've switched to VLAN-based, attached to the outgoing interface.. The VC is not coming up, so I've included a snippet below, in case I've missed anything. Also, there is a name Cisco refers to adding a sub-interface for xconnect statements, while the main interface can be trunked for passing standard VLAN's. For the life of me I cannot remember what it is. Any ideas there?

Hi,

you've configured vlan-based EoMPLS (i.e. xconnect on the SVI). In order
for this to work on Cat65xx/Sup720, you need OSM/SIP as core-facing

ME6524..
So you need to move xconnect to the physical port.

Hm. What is the cisco-speak "correct" name now (which in fact is not very intuitive): Vlan-based or SVI-based? Vlan-based is

interface gigabitethernet 1/interface.subinterface
  encapsulation dot1q vlan_id
  xconnect peer_router_id vcid encapsulation mpls
!

This is possible on sup720 even without any fancy linecards. But SVI-based

interface vlan 10
  xconnect peer_router_id vcid encapsulation mpls
!

requires those OSM/SIP modules on cat65xx/Sup720 (as Oli wrote) but works fine on ME3750. Thus SVI-based (on ME3750) together with VLAN-based (on ME6524) should work.

When configuring SVI-based EoMPLS on the ME6524 usually some kind of warning is logged ("Config not supported", or "MPLS configured on LAN interfaces" as far as I remember).
