nexus 5010 error %STP-2-VLAN_PORT_LIMIT_EXCEEDED:

Hi all.

Can someone give me a hint about what I might be looking for, or how can I track this.
%STP-2-VLAN_PORT_LIMIT_EXCEEDED: The number of vlan-port instances (3300) exceeded [MST mode] recommended limit of 3140.
We use nexus 5010 with vpc and the Nexus2K are dualhomed. The Nexus5010 are connected to a vss6500 also with vpc.

spanning-tree mst configuration
name xx-yy
instance 1 vlan 1-999
instance 2 vlan 3000-3899

System version: 4.1(3)N2(1a)


/Arne

Hi Arne,

The error message itself is pretty self-explanatory, you are having
too many active STP instances (vlans) on ethernet interfaces. Try
pruning the vlans by modifying the allowed vlan list on your trunk
ports and remove unnecessary vlans.

You can see the limitations for 4.1(3) release here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/configuration_limits/limits_413/Cisco_Nexus_5000_Series_Configuration_Limits_for_Cisco_NX_OS_Release_413_chapter1.html


Release 4.1(3) is pretty old and you can increase the scalability and
configuration limits by upgrading to a newer release such as 5.0(3) or
5.1(3). I've included the configuration limits for these versions
below:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/configuration_limits/limits_503/nexus_5000_config_limits_503_n2_1.html

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/configuration_limits/limits_513/nexus_5000_config_limits_513.html


Upgrading from 4.1(3) to 5.1(3) will be disruptive, unless you go
through some interim versions. More information is in the Release
Notes in the "Supported Upgrade and Downgrade Paths" section.

Best regards,
Andras
