Path Cost
Cost associated with the port. The spanning tree protocol uses port path costs to
determine which port to select as a forwarding port. Therefore, lower numbers
should be assigned to ports attached to faster media (such as FDX or CrossLink),
and higher numbers should be assigned to ports attached to slower media. The
possible range is 1 to 65,535 . The default is 62 . The recommended path cost is
1000 / LAN speed in Mbps.
STP Mode
The port's spanning tree mode. Possible values are forwarding , blocked , and auto .
If the TrCRF to which the port belongs is participating in the spanning tree protocol,
then auto is the default and the selected protocol will be used to determine whether
the port is forwarding or blocked. If the TrCRF to which the port belongs is not
participating in the spanning tree protocol, then forwarding is the default.
