What is swMSTPStpMaxHops?

This read-write value (1-20) sets how many hops MST BPDUs can travel within an MST Region before being discarded, applying to all spanning trees for which this bridge is the Regional Root. Admins increase this on large flat Layer-2 regions so that spanning tree information can reach devices at the edge of a wide region.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.15.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MSTP-MIB::swMSTPStpMaxHops

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.15.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MSTP-MIB::swMSTPStpMaxHops.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.15.1.6.1 i <value>
