[c-nsp] Limited number of VFIs

[Ulrik Ivers]

Yes, as far as I know this is a hard limit.

I did an extensive research with tech people at Cisco regarding this when we bought our first ME3600's a few years ago. What they came back with was 26 VPLS instances maximum. Max 512 EoMPLS tunnels.

Haven't looked in to it recently, so maybe it's possible to tweak it with a template change, but I doubt it.

Hi all
I have ME3600X with the below software and licence

System image file is "flash:/me360x-universal-mz.153.bin"
License Level: AdvancedMetroIPAccess
License Type: Permanent

I am configuring several VFIs , when I reach number 27 (total) I get prompted that I have reached the maximum number , is that a bug or normal?

Thanks
