that would make it return to a discarding state; otherwise, temporary data loops might result.

Root Hold Time – The interval (in seconds) during which no more than two bridge configuration protocol data units shall be transmitted by this node.

Max hops – The max number of hop counts for the MST region.

Remaining hops – The remaining number of hop counts for the MST instance.

Transmission limit – The minimum interval between the transmission of consecutive RSTP/MSTP BPDUs.

Path Cost Method – The path cost is used to determine the best path between devices. The path cost method is used to determine the range of values that can be assigned to each interface.
