The limit of 7 hops in a switched network with STP enabled is a physical limit or may I have more than 7 hops simply by adjusting the max age and forward delay parameters?
Hi CarlI had the same problem, but with Nortel 450. In my case, Cisco's Switches only accepted Nortel Cluster as the root, when I configured MST on they. To know more about MST read the Paper from Cisco "Understanding Multiple Spanning tree Protocol ...
I've already read this note. After reading it I counted the hops on the network. Will the adjust on max age and forward delay be sufficient with 9 or 12 hops?
Hi guysI made this question because we have a switched network (made by a third-party group) with lots of redundant links. Keeping all the redundant links the network has 12 hops! Even discarding some redundant links the hops drop to 9.
