Usage Guidelines

This command applies only to Summit family switches and BlackDiamond 8800 series switches.

Use the per-vlan option when the number of VLANs configured on the switch is lower than the maximum numbers listed in the following table. This option conserves usage of the hardware Layer 3 multicast forwarding table.

When the number of configured VLANs is larger than the maximum values listed here, select the per-port option. Each VLAN requires additional interface hardware ACL resources. The per-port option conserves usage of the interface hardware ACL resources.
