spanning-tree mst max-hops
Use the spanning-tree mst max-hops global configuration command to set the number of hops in a
region before the bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) is discarded and the information held for an interface
is aged. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

Usage Guidelines
The root switch of the instance always sends a BPDU (or M-record) with a cost of 0 and the hop count
set to the maximum value. When a switch receives this BPDU, it decrements the received remaining hop
count by one and propagates the decremented count as the remaining hop count in the generated
M-records. A switch discards the BPDU and ages the information held for the interface when the count
reaches 0.
Changing the spanning-tree mst max-hops command affects all spanning-tree instances.
Examples
This example shows how to set the spanning-tree max-hops to 10 for all multiple spanning-tree (MST)
instances:
Switch(config)# spanning-tree mst max-hops 10
You can verify your setting by entering the show spanning-tree mst privileged EXEC command.
