Usage
Information
The max-hops 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 reaches zero, the switch discards the BPDU and ages out any information that it holds
for the port.
msti
s z
Configure Multiple Spanning Tree instance, bridge priority, and one or multiple VLANs mapped to the
MST instance.
Syntax
msti instance {vlan range | bridge-priority priority}
To disable mapping or bridge priority no msti instance {vlan range | bridge-priority priority}
