Maximum Hop Count field: Defines the maximum allowable hop count an incoming route must have in order to be accepted. For a route to be marked as reachable in an update, it must not have a hop count that exceeds this value. This applies to the value for the route when it is received. This field displays only when the Use protocol defaults field is set to off.
Example: If the maxhopcount is 100 and a route is received with a hopcount of 100 it will be advertised with a hopcount of 101. If a route of 101 is received, it will be advertised as being unreachable.
Range: Positive integers.
Default: 100
