Parameters
Value: Specifies the number of hops, in the range of 1 to 255.
Usage guidelines
The hop limit determines the number of hops that an IPv6 packet generated by the device can travel.
If the device advertises the hop limit in RA messages (set with the undo ipv6 nd hop-limit unspecified
command), all RA message receivers uses the value set with the ipv6 hop-limit command to fill in the Hop
Limit field.
Examples
# Set the maximum number of hops to 100.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ipv6 hop-limit 100

packets because hop or reassembly times out.
