a3ComBrgStpHopCtl
Module: A3COM-BRIDGE-R3-MIB
OID (symbolic): A3COM-BRIDGE-R3-MIB::a3ComBrgStpHopCtl
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.9.2.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: This object determines whether the bridge considers the number of hops needed to forward a packet to the root bridge when it selects a root port. If hopReduce is selected, the bridge increases its root path cost by 1. If noHopReduce is selected and two ports have the same root path cost, the port that offers the least number of hops might not be chosen as the root port.
What is a3ComBrgStpHopCtl?
This parameter controls whether the bridge considers hop count when selecting the root port—either favoring lower hop paths or pure path cost. Engineers configure this to influence which ports the bridge prefers during tree election on multi-bridge networks. Setting hopReduce adds 1 to path cost per hop, favoring shorter routes.
