Asante Technologies IC36240 user manual Configuring Link Type, Configuring an Edge Port

Configuring Link Type

Use the following interface mode command to configure port link-type:

Switch(config)# interface eth1 Switch(config-if-eth1)#spanning-treelink-type{point-to-pointshared}

By default, the link type is determined from the duplex mode of the interface: a full-duplex port is considered to have a point-to-point connection; a half-duplex port is considered to have a shared connection.

To return the switch to its default setting, use the no spanning-treelink-typeinterface configuration command.

Configuring an Edge Port

Use the following interface mode command to configure port link type:

Switch(config)# interface eth1

Switch(config-if-eth1)#spanning-treeedge-port

The default setting is no edge port configuration.

To return the switch to its default setting, use the no spanning-treeedge-portinterface configuration command.

Configuring Port Path Cost

Use the following interface mode command to configure port path cost:

Switch(config)# interface eth1

Switch(config-if-eth1)#spanning-treepath-cost<path-cost>

The default values for path cost is determined by the operating port speed:

•For ports operating in 1000Mb speed, the path cost is 20000

•For ports operating in 100Mb speed, the path cost is 200000

•For ports operating in 10Mb speed, the path cost is 2000000

To return the switch to its default setting, use the no spanning-treepath-costinterface configuration command.

Configuring Port Priority

Use the following interface mode command to configure port priority:

Switch(config)# interface eth1 Switch(config-if-eth1)#spanning-treeport-priority<port-priority>

For <port-priority>, the range is 0–240 in increments of 16; the default is 128. The lower the number, the higher the priority.

To return the switch to its default setting, use the no spanning-treeport-priorityinterface configuration command.
