I would assume that if you don't exceed the backplane or the routing
capability, the number of VLANs shouldn't matter. For a 5500 with RSM,
you've got 3.6 GB backplane, and about 1 MPPS to play with, from what I
remember.

I guess u can go upto 1024 without impacting the CPU and memory if it is
standard.
