Excessive Number of Devices on Single MSTP Network

Overview

The "Excessive Number of Devices on Single MSTP Network” diagnostic fails when Optigo Visual Networks detects more than 32 master devices on an MSTP Network.

Why it fails

• Too Many Devices on an MSTP Network

Implications

• Slower Networks: Although the BACnet standard allows for up to 127 master devices on an MSTP network, it is recommended to keep the number of devices on a single network below 32 to ensure its speed and integrity. It is also easier to troubleshoot issues on a smaller network.

How to fix it

Split large MSTP networks into smaller segments to enhance performance.
