Syntax:
This parameter informs the switch of the type of device to which a specific port connects.
Auto: Causes the switch to set
Syntax:
MSTP uses this parameter to determine the port(s) to use for forwarding. The port with the lowest priority number has the highest priority. The range is 0 to 240, and is configured by specifying a multiplier in the range of 0 -
15.That is, when you specify a priority multiplier of 0 - 15, the actual priority assigned to the switch is:
For example, if you configure “2” as the priority multiplier on a given port, then the actual Priority setting is 32. Thus, after you specify the port priority multiplier, the switch displays the actual port priority (and not the multiplier) in the show
You can view the actual multiplier setting for ports by executing show running and looking for an entry in this format:
For example, configuring port A2 with a priority multiplier of “3” results in this line in the show running output:
Syntax:
MSTP only. When a port is enabled as
