Usage Guidelines

This command is available only on the cluster command switch. This command does not operate on

candidates that are one hop from the edge of the cluster. The edge of the cluster is the point between the

last discovered cluster member switch and the first discovered candidate switch.

This example shows how to set hop count limit to 4. This command is executed on the cluster command

You can verify your setting by entering the show cluster privileged EXEC command.
