There's a related scaling limit that's sometimes called "vlan port count" that matters as well, which, depending on your VM density, can drastically effect the scaling of a zone that uses VLAN isolation. Other vendors have similar constraints, and some are actually tied to a specific chipset that many switch vendors use. > > > On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 11:34 AM, Marcel Keller > <marcel.kel...@citrix.com>wrote: > > > I apologize for that, that was my mistake.
