I am now very confused. On the 6509, if I put "show mls rp", it said MLSs was globally disable. When I turned on MLS on both global and interface mode (include vlans that have NAT), it took just fine. Now I issued "show mls rp interfaces", VLANs with NAT didn't appear on the list of interfaces enabled for MLS, though those VLANs took the command without error.
On Cisco documentation, it says the above set of commands are only for CAT 5000 platform; and that MLS will be automatically disable on VLANs running NAT. It also says that MLS is enabled by default on 6509s. Issuing a command "show mls status" on 6509 MSFC will show the output below. However, if you do a ? browsing after "show mls", you won't see a subcommand "status". But if you just type the whole command "show mls status", it doesn't give any error, but yield the output below: MLS global configuration status: global mls ip: enabled global mls ipx: enabled global mls ip multicast: enabled current ip flowmask for unicast: destination only current ipx flowmask for unicast: destination only According to this, I assume 6509 has both MSFC and sup. engines enlabled for MLS, but I am not sure if VLANs with NAT still running MLS... How should I check it? What about Multicast MLS for NATed VLANs? Thomas N.
