Spantree Cist Path-Cost - Alcatel-Lucent 060321-10, Rev. B Cli Reference Manual

spantree cist path-cost

spantree cist path-cost
Configures the Spanning Tree path cost value for a port or a link aggregate of ports for the flat mode
Common and Internal Spanning Tree (CIST) instance. This value is the contribution of this port to the path
cost towards the Spanning Tree root bridge that includes this port. Path cost is a measure of the distance of
the listed port from the root bridge in the number of hops.
spantree cist {port slot/port[-port2] | linkagg linkagg_id[-linkagg_id2]} path-cost path_cost
Syntax Definitions
slot/port[-port2]
linkagg_id[-linkagg_id2]
path_cost
Defaults
By default, the path cost is set to zero.
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 10K
Usage Guidelines
•
This command only applies to the port path cost value for the CIST instance regardless of which oper-
ating mode (flat or per-VLAN) or protocol is active for the switch.
•
If the switch is running in per-VLAN mode when this command is used, the specified path cost value is
not active for the CIST instance until the operating mode for the switch is changed to the flat mode.
•
Note that when the Spanning Tree protocol is changed to/from MSTP, the bridge priority and port path
cost values for the flat mode CIST instance are reset to their default values.
•
Use the spantree path-cost-mode
active Spanning Tree protocol (16-bit for STP and RSTP, 32-bit for MSTP) or to use a 32-bit path cost
value regardless of which protocol is active.
•
If a 32-bit path cost value is in use and the path_cost is set to zero, the following recommended default
path cost values based on link speed are used:
