spanning-tree mst cost
Use the spanning-tree mst cost interface configuration command to set the path cost for multiple
spanning-tree (MST) calculations. If a loop occurs, spanning tree considers the path cost when selecting
an interface to put in the forwarding state. Use the no form of this command to return to the default
setting.
