I'm not sure I understand the question, or the need.
The TTL field is 8 bits, which gives a max value of 255.
At this point, I believe that one's only options for manipulating TTL would
be in terms of changing default hop count maximum for IGRP and EIGRP routing
protocols. I.e. the default distance for an (E)IGRP network is 100 ( 100
hops ) and this can be changed to a max of 255
RFC 1812 specifies that all packets be dropped after the TTL is expired.
This is to keep packets from floating around forever. The process is
specifically described in terms of router behaviour.
I suppose that various applications may manipulate the TTL value in various
ways, but the fact is that the max value is still 255, and router stacks are
generally not configurable in the way you suggest.
Am I understanding your question correctly?

If I wanted to increase the TTL on a Cisco router, how can I do that?
Thanks.
