Thanks for the clarification on this. The data sheet on the x670 doesn't
actually mention vpls:

www.extremenetworks.com/libraries/products/DSSumX670_1777.pdf

... just that there is an mpls feature set license, but with no details of
what it contains.

Normally vendors can't tell enough about useful features like this, so in
the absence of mentioning it I had assumed incorrectly that it wasn't
supported on this platform.  Maybe you could get the documentation updated
to include this information, because this is an important feature?
