Usage Information The max-hops command is a configuration command that applies to both the IST and
all MST instances in the MSTP region. The BPDUs sent out by the root switch set the
remaining-hops parameter to the configured value of max-hops. When a switch
receives the BPDU, it decrements the received value of the remaining hops and uses
the resulting value as remaining-hops in the BPDUs. If the remaining-hops reach zero,
the switch discards the BPDU and ages out any information that it holds for the port.
Enter a number for the maximum hop count. The range is from
1 to 40. The default is 20.
