This defines a metric that indicates the relative cost of forwarding packets to the
specified port list. Port cost can be set automatically or as a metric value. The
default value is 0(auto).
0 (auto) - Setting 0 for the external cost will automatically set the speed for
forwarding packets to the specified port(s) in the list for optimal efficiency.
Default port cost: 100Mbps port = 200000. Gigabit port = 20000.
value 1-200000000 - Define a value between 1 and 200000000 to determine
the external cost. The lower the number, the greater the probability the
port will be chosen to forward packets.
