ieee8021MstpCistMaxHops

Module: IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB

OID (symbolic): IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB::ieee8021MstpCistMaxHops

OID (numeric): 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.6.1.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: In an MSTP Bridge, the MaxHops parameter.

The value of this object MUST be retained across reinitializations of the management system.

What is ieee8021MstpCistMaxHops?

The maximum number of bridge hops (6-40) a BPDU can traverse within this MSTP region before being discarded, bounding how large a single region can grow; this value must survive a reboot, so changing it is a real, persistent topology decision rather than a transient setting.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.6.1.1.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB::ieee8021MstpCistMaxHops

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.6.1.1.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IEEE8021-MSTP-MIB::ieee8021MstpCistMaxHops.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.111.2.802.1.1.6.1.1.1.6.1 i <value>
