Parameter | Default | Description |
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 are the |
|
| same, the port with the highest |
|
| priority (i.e., lowest value) will be |
|
| configured as an active link in the |
|
| spanning tree. When more than one |
|
| port is assigned the highest priority, |
|
| the port with lowest numeric |
|
| identifier will be enabled. |
|
| The range is 0 - 255. |
(Path) Cost | 100/19/4 | This parameter is used by the STA |
|
| algorithm 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.)
The default and recommended range is:
Ethernet: 100 (50~600)
Fast Ethernet: 19 (10~60)
Gigabit Ethernet: 4 (3~10)
The full range is 0 - 65535.
