•Path Cost — This parameter is used by the STP to determine
the best path between devices. Therefore, lower values should
be assigned to ports attached to faster media, and higher values
assigned to ports with slower media. (Path cost takes
precedence over port priority.)
- Range —
Ethernet: 200,000-20,000,000
Fast Ethernet: 20,000-2,000,000
Gigabit Ethernet: 2,000-200,000
- Defaults —
Ethernet — half duplex: 2,000,000; full duplex: 1,000,000;
trunk: 500,000
Fast Ethernet — half duplex: 200,000; full duplex: 100,000;
trunk: 50,000
Gigabit Ethernet — full duplex: 10,000; trunk: 5,000
Note: When the Path Cost Method is set to short, the maximum
path cost is 65,535.
•Admin Link Type — The link type attached to this interface.
(Default: Auto)
- Point-to-Point — A connection to exactly one other bridge.
- Shared — A connection to two or more bridges.
- Auto — The switch automatically determines if the interface
is attached to a point-to-point link or to shared media.
