MP Router, and MP Router Blade scalability rules for firmware 5.x/6.x
Edge fabric scalability
10Maximum number of front domains per edge fabricDomains
(see Figure
46)
48Maximum number of EX_Ports per edge fabric
31Maximum number of translate domains (number of remote fabrics) per edge fabric
26Maximum number of real domains (local switches) per edge fabric
67Maximum number of domains per edge fabric (real domains + front domains + translate
domains)
Note: The total number of domains in the first three rows must not exceed 69.
1,300Maximum number of local and remote devices per edge fabric. (For edge fabrics with
more than 600 devices, 4.2.0c or later is required for all switches in the fabric when
using the 400 MP Router, MP Router Blade, or MP Router.)
