Maximum-Hop
Count
Maximum-Hop Count means how many devices the BPDU message will pass
through in a MSTP region before being discarded. This parameter takes effect
for all instances.
To configure the Maximum-Hop Count, execute the following commands in the
global configuraiton mode:
Command Function
DES-7200# configure terminal
Enter the global configuration mode.
DES-7200(config)# spanning-tree
max-hops hop-count
Configure the Maximum-Hop Count
ranging from 1 to 40, 20 by default.
DES-7200(config)# end
Return to the privileged EXEC mode.
DES-7200# show running-config
Verify the configuration.
DES-7200# copy running-config
startup-config
Save the configuration.
To restore the Maxium-Hop Count to the default value, execute the no
spanning-tree max-hops command in the global configuration mode.
10.3.16 Configuring
Intereface
Compatibility
Mode
In interface compatibility mode, when a port sends BPDU, it will carry different
MSTI information according to the current port attribute to realize
interconnection with other vendors.
To configure the interface compatibility mode, execute the following commands
in the privileged mode:
Command Function
DES-7200# configure terminal
Enter the global configuration mode.
DES-7200(config)#interface interface-id
Enter the Interface configuration mode.
DES-7200(config-if)# spanning-tree
compatible enable
Enable interface compatibility mode.
