WS-3750-24ps-s | MPLS
I building my Route and Switch CCIE lab and I have a advanced ip services image running on this switch but I do not see any options to configure mpls. I was using this 3750 to replace the 3560 in the lab but if it doesnt support mpls i wont be able to do so. Does anyone know if this switch supports mpls or possibly putting a different switch image would work to support mpls?

no, it doesn't. Its not an MPLS switch.
How long have you been working in the field of networking? -

5 years sir and I know its not an mpls switch but I would like a switch that does support mpls as I want this lab to be able to be turned into a service provider lab in the future. It was my understanding 3560's supported mpls unless i'm mistaken. -

Vanilla Cat3750s do not support MPLS. If you're looking to implement MPLS you will need 3750MEs.

What blueprint are you using for your labs? INE does not call for MPLS capable switching devices.Reading: Internetworking with TCP/IP: Principles, Protocols, and Architecture (D. Comer) -

Of course those are much more money!
In regards to the Route and Switch lab will I lose any functionality sticking with this model 3750 in replacement of the 3560? -

Nope. They pretty much the same device, except that the 3750 supports Cisco StackWise whereas the 3560s do not.Reading: Internetworking with TCP/IP: Principles, Protocols, and Architecture (D. Comer)

No problem. Just don't get annoyed if I come at you with Voice questions
