[c-nsp] RES: VLAN internal usage

[Leonardo Gama Souza]

Hi Peter,

So the command 'show platform hardware capacity vlan' should be tracking
the free internal VLANs, but this is not happening:

7609#show platform hardware capacity vlan 
VLAN Resources
  VLANs: 4094 total, 68 VTP, 0 extended, 16 internal, 4010 free

As subinterfaces use "internal VLANs", I am actually using 18 internal
VLANs here. It seems this command is only tracking the "internal VLANs"
in the range 1006-4094 (automatically allocated by IOS).
Am I missing anything?

Regards,
Leonardo.
