Configuration guidelines for VLAN scale spanning tree
Table 20. Configuration guidelines for VLAN scale (STP flavor)
Scale STP flavor
Number of VLANs configured in each IOM is less than 100 RPVST or RSTP can be configured
Number of VLANs configured in each IOM is greater than 100 RSTP is the recommended configuration
Table 21. Configuration guidelines for VLAN scale (VLAN configuration)
Scale Scale-profile VLAN configuration
Number of port vlan (PV) combinations is less than 6144 Not required
Number of port vlan (PV) combinations is greater than 6144 Is mandatory
NOTE: For more information about scale-profile VLAN, see Dell EMC PowerEdge MX SmartFabric Configuration and
Troubleshooting Guide available at https://infohub.delltechnologies.com/t/mx-series-modular-switches-poweredge-mx-7/.
