Hi Matt,

The 6500/sup720 on 33SXI supports 100K logical ports in MST, and 12K in RPVST. That's up from 50K/10K in every prior release.

N7K supports 75K in MST & 16K in RPVST today. There are no per-module limitations on N7K.

Those numbers are based on the requirements we expressed to QA/system test prior to FCS. The original numbers were confirmed prior to 33SXI was released. Since then, we have not had a customer requirement/request to support more, so frankly we have not felt compelled to go and requalifify for anything greater. Would be curious to know how many logical ports you are running today & in what protocol?

Thanks,
Tim

My Cisco team suggested the Nexus as a potential way to alleviate my 6500
virtual port limitation pain.  I asked for specifics on the STP limits of
the Nexus, and they are significantly lower than the 6500.  Oops.
