Priority

128

Defines the priority for the use of a port in the STA

 

 

algorithm. If the path cost for all ports on a switch is the

 

 

same, the port with the highest priority (i.e., lowest value)

 

 

will be configured as an active link in the spanning tree.

 

 

Where more than one port is assigned the highest

 

 

priority, the port with lowest numeric identifier will be

 

 

enabled.

 

 

The range is 0 - 255.
