I would check the Foundry Fastiron series - maybe the 4802. Everything I've read appears to indicate they support all 4096 vlans simultaneously, although you will of course want to verify this. I don't think this is true. Those of you with BigIron units know that (at least in m3 supervisors) they support only 512 vlans at most. I do not think the older, and generally less capable, FastIron switches are

The command to check this on BigIron is `show default values`.
That indicates a maximum of 4095 on a recent switch here that runs the layer-2 only image. Older models appear to have a limit of 2048, but I can't tell for sure whether this is hardware or software related. Configurability is, of course, no guarantee for things to actually work. -- Niels.
