@sofh hi,
well, I don't think so.
Cause each vlan could only bind to one stp instance, so theoretically, at most 4096 stp instances could be enabled at same time. But the value might be smaller than 4096. If you want to get the accruate number, you are kindly advised to contact with pre-sale engineers, I think, they got that number.

@sofh hello,
instance-id ranges from 0 to 4094. Each process supports a maximum of 65 instances.

Does that mean each switch can handle 4094x65 = 266110 STP instances?

for example in cisco 3750 total 128 STP instances can work at a time, we can add as many as VLANs we want, but only first 128 VLANS will be served by STP and rest will not have STP running on them, so total capacity comes to 128, likewise at how many vlans we can run STP in Above mentioned Huawei switches?

No se recomienda tener tantas instancias de STP ya que consume mucha CPU. Existe tambien MSTP que te agrupa una cantidad determinada de VLANs en una instancia STP
