Configuring the Maximum Hop Count of an MST Region

The maximum hop count configured on the region root is also the maximum hops of the MST region.

The value of the maximum hop count limits the size of the MST region.

A configuration BPDU contains a field that maintains the remaining hops of the configuration BPDU.

And a switch discards the configuration BPDUs whose remaining hops are 0. After a configuration

BPDU reaches a root bridge of a spanning tree in an MST region, the value of the remaining hops field

in the configuration BPDU is decreased by 1 every time the configuration BPDU passes one switch.

Such a mechanism disables the switches that are beyond the maximum hop count from participating in

spanning tree calculation, and thus limits the size of an MST region.

With such a mechanism, the maximum hop count configured on the switch operating as the root bridge

of the CIST or an MSTI in an MST region becomes the network diameter of the spanning tree, which

limits the size of the spanning tree in the current MST region. The switches that are not root bridges in

the MST region adopt the maximum hop settings of their root bridges.

Configuration procedure

Follow these steps to configure the maximum hop count for an MST region:

To do... Use the command... Remarks

Enter system view system-view —

Configure the maximum hop

count of the MST region stp max-hops hops

Required

By default, the maximum hop

count of an MST region is 20.

The bigger the maximum hop count, the larger the MST region is. Note that only the maximum hop

settings on the switch operating as a region root can limit the size of the MST region.

Configuration example

# Configure the maximum hop count of the MST region to be 30.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] stp max-hops 30

Configuring the Network Diameter of the Switched Network

In a switched network, any two switches can communicate with each other through a specific path

made up of multiple switches. The network diameter of a network is measured by the number of

switches; it equals the number of the switches on the longest path (that is, the path containing the

maximum number of switches).

Configuration procedure

Follow these steps to configure the network diameter of the switched network:
