value that is not divisible by four the software rounds to the nearest value that is. The default is 128. A higher
numerical value means a lower priority; thus, the highest priority is 8.
NOTE: The range in software releases earlier than 07.5.04 is 0 – 255. If you are upgrading a device that has a
configuration saved under an earlier software release, and the configuration contains a value from 0 – 7 for a
port's STP priority, the software changes the priority to the default when you save the configuration while running
the new release.
The disable | enable parameter disables or re-enables STP on the port. The STP state change affects only this
VLAN. The port's STP state in other VLANs is not changed.

5. Select the port (and slot if applicable) from the Port and Slot pulldown lists.
6. Enter the desired changes to the priority and path cost fields.
7. Click Apply STP Port to apply the changes to only the selected port or select Apply To All Ports to apply the
