Dave, I am sure the command 'no mls rp ip' would work in the Cat 6509. I have seem it in the Todd Lamle guide for switching. Boy, I am currently studying for S/W I got to remember stuff from the study material, unless have started aging and my memory has started to fail. Could you just check on that? I am sure there was something about disabling MLS on Cat5000 and Cat6000 series....something on 'Right way' and 'Wrong way'. Just check. You are correct in Cat5000 MLS is disabled by default and in Cat6000 it is enabled by default. Ok, you dont get I/O stat on VLAN interface but if you have Plicy Feature Card, you should be able to get a lot more information isnt it. PFC is used for billing information gathering and that means you have a lot of info which you need to decifer. Isnt it? Over to you Dave... Cisco_Maniac
