Spanning-Tree Pathcost Method - SMC Networks SMC8748ML3 Management Manual

OMMAND INE
Command Usage
Bridge priority is used in selecting the root device, root port, and
designated port. The device with the highest priority (i.e., lower numeric
value) becomes the STA root device. However, if all devices have the
same priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will then become
the root device.
Example
Console(config)#spanning-tree priority 40000
Console(config)#

spanning-tree pathcost method

This command configures the path cost method used for Rapid Spanning
Tree and Multiple Spanning Tree. Use the no form to restore the default.
Syntax
spanning-tree pathcost method {long | short}
no spanning-tree pathcost method
• long - Specifies 32-bit based values that range from 1-200,000,000.
• short - Specifies 16-bit based values that range from 1-65535.
Default Setting
Long method
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
The path cost method is used 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. Note
that path cost (page 4-235) takes precedence over port priority
(page 4-236).
Example
Console(config)#spanning-tree pathcost method long
Console(config)#
