[c-nsp] pvlans and scalability

[Jimmy Stewpot]

Hi,

That is correct, Hence putting a 10GbE port which connects into a 
switch, then use that switch with an etherchannel given that it has no 
pvlan on it directly. Im not sure if it will work, but i would be keen 
if anyone can see any reason why it wont work?

Regards,

Jimmy
