Chapter 11 Configuring VLANs
Configuring Token Ring VLANs on the Switch
Caution
If the backup TrCRF port is attached to a Token Ring multistation access unit (MSAU), it does not
provide a backup path unless the ring speed and port mode are set by another device. We recommend
that you configure the ring speed and port mode for the backup TrCRF.
To specify the maximum number of hops for the All-Routes Explorer frames or the Spanning Tree
Explorer frames in the TrCRF, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to limit the All-Routes Explorer frames and Spanning Tree Explorer frames to
ten hops and how to verify the configuration:
Console> (enable)
set vlan 998 aremaxhop 10 stemaxhop 10
