Spanning Tree Maximum Hops
. The maximum number of bridge hops the 
information for a particular CST instance can travel before being discarded. The valid 
range is 6–40. The default is 20 hops.
Spanning Tree Tx Hold Count
. Configures the maximum number of bpdus the bridge 
is allowed to send within the hello time window. The valid range is 1–10. The default 
value is 6.

The updated configuration is sent to the switch. Configuration changes take effect 
immediately.
The following table describes the CST Status information that is displayed.
Configure CST Port Settings
You can configure the Common Spanning Tree (CST) and Internal Spanning Tree on a 
specific port on the switch. 
A port can become Diagnostically Disabled (D-Disable) when DOT1S experiences a severe 
error condition. The most common cause is when the DOT1S software experiences BPDU 
flooding. The flooding criteria is such that DOT1S receives more than 15 BPDUs in a 
3-second interval. The other causes for DOT1S D-Disable are extremely rare.
