Verified Topology—Indicates the verified scaling capabilities with all listed features enabled at the same time. The numbers
listed here exceed that used by most customers in their topologies. The scale numbers listed here are not the maximum verified
values if each feature is viewed in isolation.

Maximum Limits—Indicates the maximum scale capability tested for the corresponding feature individually. This number is
the absolute maximum currently supported by Cisco NX-OS Release 5.0(3)N2(1) software for the corresponding feature. If the
hardware is capable of a higher scale, future software releases may increase this maximum limit.
