Configure the Maximum Hop Count

The max hop count is the maximum number of hops the BPDU can traverse before getting discarded and also before the information held for a port is aged out.

  1. Configure the maximum hop count.
    SEFOS# configure terminal
    SEFOS(config)# spanning-tree mst max-hops 10

    The maximum hop range is 6-40. The default is 20.

    SEFOS(config)# end
  2. View the MST port-specific configuration.
    SEFOS# show spanning-tree mst detail
