On the maximum value of the logical switch

[networlddsg]

Hello.

The maximum value of the logical switch that can be created Do you 10000 is correct.

As far as I was confirmed I think the following is true.

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.0/com.vmware.vsphere.configmax.doc/GUID-8DFC0B42-30EE-4B...

Static / Dynamic port groups per distributed switch 10000

·environment

For NSX 6.3.4, vCenter 6.5, ESX 6.5

Yes per vCenter/NSX Manager this is also mentioned here: Assign a Segment ID Pool and Multicast Address Range

When determining the size of each segment ID pool, keep in mind that the segment ID range controls the number of logical switches that can be created.

Choose a small subset of the 16 million potential VNIs. You should not configure more than 10,000 VNIs in a single vCenter because vCenter limits the number of dvPortgroups to 10,000.

If you are having multiple vDS on a common transport zone (let say 2 vDS on a transport zone), a logical switch will have 2 dvPortGroups backing the logical switch.

If you are running 6.4 NSX you can easily check all config max parameters from GUI and you are correct maximum number of logical switches are 10000 . You may also refer
