It is calculated by the vlan number's or active STP ??

Hi

For evry vlan you add, cisco will by default, start an stp instance. You can disable stp per vlan. If you haven't done that, you have 39 stp instances.

There are often limits on how many stp instances a switch can handle. So if you enabla more vlan than the switch can handle stp for, there will be vlan that doesn' run stp. Different switch models can have different limits.
