Chapter 6: Configuration

Parameter Description

Port: The switch port number of the corresponding STP CIST (and MSTI) port.

Path Cost: Control the path cost incurred by the port. The Auto setting will set the path cost as appropriate by the physical link speed, using the 802.1D recommended values. Using the “Specific” setting, a user-defined value can be entered. The path cost is used when establishing the active topology of the network. Lower path cost ports are chosen as forwarding ports in favor of higher path cost ports. Valid values are in the range 1 to 200000000.

Priority:

Control the port priority. This can be used to control priority of ports having identical port cost. (See above).

Buttons

Save: Click to save changes.

Reset: Click to undo any changes made locally and revert to previously saved values.
