As it says, with the level of features described (512 QoS ACEs and so on) it supports 8 layer 3 interfaces. If you do not use all the features, you can have more interfaces with no problems. > Is it a maximum number of SVIs or routed ports that I can configure on a > switch? There problably is, but the limit is quite large. I lab-tested creating 600 SVIs on a C3650G and it didn't complain. Since it does hardware forwarding you shouldn't feel any performance penalty from this. But if you start using features like ACLs, QoS, VRFs and so on, it probably can't handle this. > What happens when I configure 9 or more SVIs? If you configure too many interfaces / features, the switch will complain about lack of TCAM space. I haven't tried, but maybe it will start process-switching and you wouldn't want that performance wise, since it's designed as a hardware switch and the processer thus is relatively slow.
