•
MPLS VPN Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) Support—This feature ensures that the HSRP
virtual IP address is added to the correct IP routing table and not to the global routing table. See this
publication:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_1t/12_1t3/feature/guide/dt_hsmp.html
•
OSPF Sham-Link Support for MPLS VPN—This feature allows you to use a sham-link to connect
VPN client sites that run the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol and share OSPF links in a
MPLS VPN configuration. See this publication:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2t/12_2t8/feature/guide/ospfshmk.html
