Parameter
Priority
(Path) Cost
Default
Description
128
Defines the priority for the use of a
port in the STA algorithm. If the path
cost for all ports on a switch are the
same, the port with the highest
priority (i.e., lowest value) will be
configured as an active link in the
spanning tree. When more than one
port is assigned the highest priority,
the port with lowest numeric
identifier will be enabled.
The range is 0 - 255.
100/19/4
This parameter is used by the STA
algorithm to determine the best path
between devices. Therefore, lower
values should be assigned to ports
attached to faster media, and higher
values assigned to ports with slower
media.
(Path cost takes precedence over port
priority.)
The default and recommended range
is:
Ethernet: 100 (50~600)
Fast Ethernet: 19 (10~60)
Gigabit Ethernet: 4 (3~10)
The full range is 0 - 65535.
