Hi, I am using a couple of AToM/EoMPLS tunnels in order to carry =
customer voice and data traffic across our IP/MPLS core, and it is =
currently working just fine. The first side consists of a Cisco 7600 =
router (rsp) and the other one is an HP A5500-HI routing switch with =
full LER/E-LSR capability. At the HP site, the tunnels are facing the =
access ports towards our premium end-customers; and on the Cisco PE I =
terminate the tunnels on one of the 2x10GE portchannel backbone links. =
There is vlan X on the HP side and vlan Y on the Cisco side - vlan =
rewrite is working perfectly - as long as I use IOS 12.

After upgrading the Cisco router software to IOS 15 the tunnels won't =
come up. sh mpls l2 vc Y d says:
...
Last error: Imposition VLAN rewrite capability mismatch with peer
...

I use almost exactly the same Cisco configuration before and after the =
upgrade (only minor changes and nothing related to this) and I havn't =
touched the HP. Apparently they don't talk the same L2PW language. I =
wonder though, why now? We use service instances on the HP switchport as =
endpoint, we initiate the targetted LDP session in addition to the =
pseudowire handshake from a sub interface MPLS crossconnect. There is no =
MTU mismatch; not here - not anywhere.

Anyone heard of this issue or experienced it?

Best regards,
