1. Configure the L2 VLAN scale profile in CONFIGURATION mode.

2. (Optional) Enable L3 routing on a VLAN in INTERFACE VLAN mode.
mode L3
After you configure the VLAN scale profile and enable L3 routing on the respective VLANs, save the configuration and reload
the switch for the scale profile settings to take effect. To reload the switch, use reload command.
Apply VLAN scale profile
OS10(config)# scale-profile vlan
OS10(config)# interface vlan 10
OS10(conf-if-vl-10)# mode L3
OS10(conf-if-vl-10)# end
OS10# write memory
OS10(config)# reload
Dell Technologies recommends the following sequence when configuring scale profile VLANs:
1. Enable the scale profile VLANs using scale-profile vlan command.
2. Disable IGMP and MLDP.
For more information about disabling IGMP and MLD, see Internet Group Management Protocol and Multicast Listener
Discovery Protocol.
3. Configure the Spanning-Tree mode to RSTP.
4. Configure the VLANs.
5. Enter Ethernet Interface mode and add the VLANs to the interface.
NOTE: Do not use interface range command to enter Ethernet Interface mode.
From OS10.5.2.3 onwards, the total number of Port VLAN (PV) combinations that are supported on PowerSwitches in Full
Switch mode are listed as follows:
Table 48. Support VLAN values
Platform With VLAN scale profile configured Without VLAN scale configuration
S4100-ON Series 40000 PV 10000 PV
S5200-ON Series 60000 PV 30000 PV
This number is calculated based on the total number of VLANs provisioned on the switch and the number of active ports,
including VLTi and port channels.
Loopback interfaces
A Loopback interface is a virtual interface where the software emulates an interface. Because a Loopback interface is not
associated to physical hardware entities, the Loopback interface status is not affected by hardware status changes.
Packets routed to a Loopback interface process locally to the OS10 device. Because this interface is not a physical interface, to
provide protocol stability you can configure routing protocols on this interface. You can place Loopback interfaces in default L3
mode.
Enter the Loopback interface number in CONFIGURATION mode, from 0 to 16383.
