spanning-tree port-priority
spanning-tree port-priority
Use the spanning-tree port-priority interface configuration command on the switch stack or on a
standalone switch to configure an interface priority. If a loop occurs, spanning tree can find the interface
to put in the forwarding state. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.
Syntax Description
vlan vlan-id
priority
Defaults
The default is 128.

Usage Guidelines
If the variable vlan-id is omitted, the command applies to the spanning-tree instance associated with
VLAN 1.
You can set the priority on a VLAN that has no interfaces assigned to it. The setting takes effect when
you assign the interface to the VLAN.
If you configure an interface with both the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id port-priority priority command
and the spanning-tree port-priority priority command, the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id port-priority
priority command takes effect.
If your switch is a member of a switch stack, you must use the spanning-tree [vlan vlan-id] cost cost
interface configuration command instead of the spanning-tree [vlan vlan-id] port-priority priority
interface configuration command to select an interface to put in the forwarding state. Assign lower cost
values to interfaces that you want selected first and higher cost values that you want selected last.
Examples
This example shows how to increase the likelihood that a port will be put in the forwarding state if a
loop occurs:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/2
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree vlan 20 port-priority 0

(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.
Number from 0 to 240, in increments of 16. Valid values are 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80,
96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, and 240. All other values are rejected.
The lower the number, the higher the priority.
