Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
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.
msti

Syntax
msti instance {vlan range | bridge-priority priority}
To disable mapping or bridge priority, use the no msti instance {vlan range | bridge-priority
priority} command.
Parameters
msti instance Enter the MSTP iInstance. The range is from zero (0) to 63.
vlan range Enter the keyword vlan then the identifier range value. The range is from 1 to 4094.
bridge-priority
priority
Enter the keywords bridge-priority then a value in increments of 4096 as the
