Chapter 7 Configuring Spanning Tree

Configuring MISTP Port Cost

You can configure the port cost of switch ports. Ports with lower port costs are more likely to be chosen
to forward frames. Assign lower numbers to ports attached to faster media (such as full duplex) and
higher numbers to ports attached to slower media.The possible range is 1 to 65535. The default differs
for different media. Path cost is typically equal to 1000 ÷ LAN speed in megabits per second.
To configure the port cost for a port, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Configure the port cost for a switch port.
Step 2
Verify the port cost setting.
This example shows how to configure the port instance priority on a MISTP instance and verify the
configuration:
Console> (enable) set spantree portcost 2/12 22222222
Spantree port 2/12 path cost set to 22222222.

Configuring MISTP Port Priority

You can configure the port priority of switch ports. The port with the lowest priority value forwards
frames for all VLANs. The possible port priority value is 0 to 63; the default is 32. If all ports have the
same priority value, the port with the lowest port number forwards frames.
To configure the port priority for a port, perform this task in privileged mode:

Step 1
Configure the port priority for a switch port.
Step 2 Verify the port priority setting.
