Certain design considerations must be met to reach this limit. We recommend that you have the large fabric design validated
by Cisco Advanced Services.

2.
NPV switches do not have a domain ID and do not count towards the maximum limit.
3.
Device aliases can be restricted to switches where zoning is done and activated. Distributing device alias fabric-wide might
result in unnecessary consumption of resources for the database.
result in unnecessary consumption of resources for the database.
4.
The NPV port group is a set of front panel NPV ports that share the same set of forwarding resources in a switch. Each switch
has a different set of port groups. The mapping from a port to a port group is platform specific. You can display this mapping
by using the show npv internal info command. For more information on this show command, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000
Family Command Reference Guide.

This is the number of trunking-enabled ISL ports multiplied by the number of VSANs in the switch.
