I normally just lurk but I thought I would post to clear up the confusion.
Full disclosure, I am an Extreme Networks TAC engineer.
The x450 does not support any VPLS/H-VPLS/MPLS and is discontinued. It was
replaced with the x460 which does support VPLS/H-VPLS/VPWS. The x480 and
x670 both support VPLS/H-VPLS/VPWS.
The x460, x480 and x670 all support BGP. However, only the x480 can hold
the BGP full-view in hardware. So while you can run BGP on the x460 or
x670 they are really only suitable for iBGP.
All switches require a Core license to run BGP and an MPLS license to run
VPLS/H-VPLS/VPWS.
