The MaxAreRDLimit parameter specifies the maximum number of routing designators (RDs) (or hop count) allowed for an All Route Explorer (ARE) frame received on the specified port. The ARE is discarded after this limit is exceeded. The RD is a two-octet field in the routing information that designates a ring number (LAN ID) and bridge number.
The maximum All Route Explorer route designators (MaxAreRDLimit) allowed in a source route bridging environment is eight. This means that the maximum number of bridges or hops that can be daisy-chained in a source route bridge configuration is seven.
