Routed Private VLANs/E-TREEs Scaling

The number of private VLANs that you configure with an IP address influences the IPv4 Egress ACE count.

The following table lists scaling limits for Routed Private VLANs/E-TREEs. Limits are not enforced; either number of private VLANs or number of private VLAN trunk ports can go beyond the recommended values.

Use the show io resources filter command to verify remaining resources. This command displays the following information:
  • resources consumed by Routed Private VLANs

  • free entries available for either IPv4 Egress ACEs or private VLANs

The following example output displays resource usage on a 5320 Series switch with one Routed Private VLAN and one outPort ACL.
