Hmmm, never understood it that way. I always thought that it was 7 hops from the root bridge. As ever my reference is my flaky memory, so I'm off to try and find out why I thought that. Gaz Priscilla Oppenheimer wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... At 07:27 PM

If max age isn't changed from the default of 20 seconds, it shouldn't be a problem? The seven hops came from an assumption that each bridge spends a few seconds taking in and propagating configuration BPDUs, but high-speed switches don't take that much time. However, they also don't track how

Here's something funky I've just started researching. Thought many of you might not be aware of this... Awkward STP Parameter Tuning and Diameter Issues We already saw that an aggressive value for the max-age parameter and the forward-delay could lead to a very unstable STP. The loss of some
