There's probably a good reason for switching instead of routing in the original poster's scenario. (Perhaps a FTTH-like project?)
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but at some point you will have to route all those VLAN's. To really answer the question about wether > 1000 VLAN's are necessary one would need to see the network design.
From my point of view I'd have to question the need to carry that many
VLAN's over a large portion of the network. I would think that the network should be more partitioned so most of the VLAN's don't need to be seen outside a small area. bye, ken emery
