13. spanning port <number>
The port commands, described in subsequent sections, control the configuration of the bridge’s ports so far as the operation of the spanning tree protocol is concerned. Ports are numbered from 1. Every port on the bridge may be specified by typing all instead of a port number.
14. spanning port <number> disabled enable
Syntax:
spanning port <number> disable enable
Description:
Allows a port to be disabled or enabled. The state of a port may also be changed by SNMP command. A port, which is enabled will take part in the operation of the spanning tree protocol. If enabled, the physical port may be “enabled” or “disabled” as demanded by the operation of the protocol.
Configuration saving saves this information. By default ports are enabled.
Example:
DSL bridge> spanning port 1 enable ;Enables port 1 on the bridge.
15. spanning port <number> pathcost
Syntax:
spanning port <number> pathcost [<cost>]
Description:
Reads or sets the cost of using this port. The cost may be any number between 1 and 65535. The cost of the port is used when deciding which is the best path to the root bridge. The cost of a port may also be changed by SNMP command.
Configuration saving saves this information. By default a cost of 10 is assigned to a port
Example:
DSL bridge> spanning port 2 pathcost | ;Displays the path |
| cost for port 2 on the |
