The vale(4) man page contains outdated information. Current values: 8 switches, 255 ports. https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/dev/netmap/netmap_bdg.h?view=markup#l76 That's great news. Could you please update the man page then? Thank you.

Vale switches are limited as per man page vale(4): LIMITS vale currently supports up to 4 switches, 16 ports per switch, with 1024 buffers per port. These hard limits will be changed to sysctl variables in future releases. Nowadays it's easy to hit these limits with bhyve machines and/or jails with virtualized network stacks. It would be nice to increase these limits or make them configurable by sysctl variables.
