max-hops

 

 

 

 

Configures the maximum number of hops for a Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) in an MSTP

 

 

region.

 

 

Synopsis

max-hops hop_count

 

 

 

no max-hops

 

 

Operands

hop_count

Specifies the maximum number of hops for which the BPDU will be valid. The

 

 

range of valid values is 1-40.

 

Defaults

The default is 20 hops.

 

Command

Protocol Spanning Tree MSTP mode

 

Modes

 

 

 

Description

Use this command to configure the maximum number of hops for a BPDU in an MSTP region. This

 

parameter is used by all the instances of the MSTP. Use the no max-hopscommand to return to the

 

default value.

 

 

Usage

Specifying the maximum hops for a BPDU prevents the messages from looping indefinitely on the

Guidelines

interface. When you change the number of hops, it affects all spanning-tree instances.

 

Examples

To set the number of maximum hops to 25 for all MSTPs:

 

 

switch(config)#protocol spanning-tree mstp

 

 

switch(conf-mstp)#max-hops 25
