Hi all ,
I would appreciate yout advice for te following questions :
1. what is the maximum bridges that can be in single MSTP instance in one ring .
I believe that answer is 20 for default configuration as the default hop count field in BPDU transmitted from root
bridge is 20 .
and for non default confiuration it can be tuned up to 40 .
2. Now lets assume we have a topology of multiple rings that are closed on the same root .
Is there any limitation on the number of bridges in the network , as long as we keep on the rule that maximum hop
count will meet the configured parameter from root to bridge in the MSTP instanec Tree ?
Or other parameters / Timers that also can limit us .
3. In general in any MSTP topology - what is theh maximum switches that we can manage
