Chapter 17 Configuring MSTP

Configuring MSTP Features

Configuring Path Cost

The MSTP path cost default value is derived from the media speed of an interface. If a loop occurs, the

MSTP uses cost when selecting an interface to put in the forwarding state. You can assign lower cost

values to interfaces that you want selected first and higher cost values that you want selected last. If all

interfaces have the same cost value, the MSTP puts the interface with the lowest interface number in the

forwarding state and blocks the other interfaces.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the MSTP cost of an inter face. This

procedure is optional.

Note The show spanning-tree mst interface interface-id privileged EXEC command displays information

only for ports that are in a link-up operative state. Otherwise, you can use the show running-config

privileged EXEC command to confirm the configuration.

To return the interface to its default setting, use the no spanning-tree mst instance-id cost interface

configuration command.

Command Purpose

Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2 interface interface-id Specify an interface to configure, and enter interface

configuration mode. Valid interfaces include physical ports and

port-channel logical interfaces. The port-channel range is 1 to 6.

Step 3 spanning-tree mst instance-id cost cost Configure the cost.

If a loop occurs, the MSTP uses the path cost when selecting an

interface to place into the forwarding state. A lower path cost

represents higher-speed transmission.

• For instance-id, you can specify a single instance, a range of

instances separated by a hyphen, or a series of instances

separated by a comma. The range is 0 to 4094.

• For cost, the range is 1 to 200000000; the default value is

derived from the media speed of the interface.

Step 4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5 show spanning-tree mst interface interface-id

or

show spanning-tree mst instance-id

Verify your entries.

Step 6 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
