Section V: Spanning Tree Protocols 427
1 - Port Priority
This parameter is used as a tie breaker when two or more ports have
equal costs to the root bridge. The range is 0 to 240 in increments of
16. The default value is 8 (priority value 128). Table6 lists the
increments.
2 - Port Cost
The spanning tree algorithm uses the cost parameter to decide which
port provides the lowest cost path to the root bridge for that LAN. The
range is 0 to 65,535. The default setting is Automatic Update, which
sets port cost depending on the speed of the port. Table9 lists the STP
port costs with Auto-Detect.
Table8 lists the STP port costs with Auto-Detect when a port is part of
a port trunk.
