bridge port Sets the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) bridge port priority. This value stpPriority influences the choice of port when the bridge has two or more ports that

have the same path cost and that are connected to the same LAN, which creates a loop. STP selects the bridge port with the lowest priority and places the remaining ports in the blocking state. The current value is shown in the priority field of the bridge port detail display.

Important Considerations

■You can use this command to configure the same setting on multiple ports simultaneously. When you specify multiple port numbers, the system prompts you to choose the setting and then applies it to all of the ports.

■Port priority is a 1-octet value written in hexidecimal format.

■If all ports in a bridge have the same priority value, then the port number is used as the determining factor.

■If your configuration is successful, the previous menu appears. If the configuration is not successful, the system notifies you that your changes failed, and you can try to reenter your changes.
