X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2003 13:13:45 -0000 Hi list, Currently I'm researching the maximum amount of possible VLANs for all kinds of network devices and one of them is a FreeBSD box with an FXP card in it. While the theorectical maximum is about 4096 VLAN's on one trunk, I've been seeing that several vendors impose different limits. Looking through the manpages and mailing lists, I couldn't really find if FreeBSD imposes any limit on the amount of VLANs (=vlan interfaces) on a physical interface and if so, how it does that and what the limit is..
