[c-nsp] Maximum spannig tree instances

[Shine Joseph]

Hi,

I searched in the archives if I could find the answer to my this query. =
The result was negative.

How many spanning-tree instances are possible in Rapid PVST+ and MST =
modes in Cisco 6500 series switches with Sup720?

The only documentation that I could see which says about total number of =
virtual ports per line card and total active logical ports. There is no =
reference to  number of instances.

The following netpro link mentions about 4096 instances, but this point =
is not validated.

Any links or pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
