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

... 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?

Thanks for pointing that out. Documentation folks have been alerted. For a quick comparison of all switches I like the Comparison Guide the best. http://www.extremenetworks.com/libraries/products/MSComparisonChart_1636.pdf --Andrew
