CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

MST Path Cost – This parameter is used by the MSTP 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.) Note that when the Path Cost Method is set to short (page 3-63), the maximum path cost is 65,535.

-Range – Ethernet: 200,000-20,000,000 Fast Ethernet: 20,000-2,000,000 Gigabit Ethernet: 2,000-200,000

-Default – 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

Web – Click Spanning Tree, MSTP, Port Configuration or Trunk Configuration. Enter the priority and path cost for an interface, and click Apply.
