No, the STP diameter is not a hard limit. It is a recommendation from the RFC. Going over the limit can lead to network instability during convergence, but that
does not only depend on STP diameter, but also on the STP timers, the number of MAC adresses, etc...
That is just the problem: try explaning to people that they need to limit the STP diameter. Ooh..we add one switch more and see..it still works.. what's the problem ?

Geert

Hi Gang,
I have a question regarding the STP diameter command, does it do
anything? like stop BPDU's or something? I've lab'd this up and it
doesn't appear to do anything significant (if at all).
Mucho appreciated,
Thanks
D
