Spanning-Tree Cost - Cisco Catalyst 3550 Command Reference Manual

spanning-tree cost

spanning-tree cost
Use the spanning-tree cost interface configuration command to set the path cost for spanning-tree
calculations. If a loop occurs, spanning tree considers the path cost when selecting an interface to place
in the forwarding state. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.
Syntax Description
vlan vlan-id
cost
Defaults
The default path cost is computed from the interface bandwidth setting. These are the IEEE default path
cost values:

12.1(4)EA1
12.1(9)EA1
12.1(13)EA1
Usage Guidelines When you configure the cost, higher values represent higher costs.
If you configure an interface with both the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id cost cost command and the
spanning-tree cost cost command, the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id cost cost command takes effect.
Examples This example shows how to set a path cost of 250 on an interface:
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/4
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree cost 250
This example shows how to set a path cost of 300 for VLAN 10:
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree vlan 10 cost 300

spanning-tree [vlan vlan-id] cost cost
no spanning-tree [vlan vlan-id] cost
(Optional) VLAN range associated with a spanning-tree instance. You can specify
a single VLAN identified by VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by a
hyphen, or a series of VLANs separated by a comma. The range is 1 to 4094.
Path cost can range from 1 to 200000000, with higher values meaning higher costs.
1000 Mbps—4
100 Mbps—19
10 Mbps—100
Modification
This command was introduced.
The range for the cost variable increased.
The value for the vlan-id variable was changed.
