Table 32-2 lists the default values for port cost by interface.
To change the port cost or priority of an interface:
View the current values for these interface parameters using the command
show config from INTERFACE
mode. See Figure 32-8.
Configure an EdgePort
The EdgePort feature enables interfaces to begin forwarding traffic approximately 30 seconds sooner. In
this mode an interface forwards frames by default until it receives a BPDU that indicates that it should
behave otherwise; it does not go through the Learning and Listening states. The
bpduguard
shutdown-on-violation
option causes the interface hardware to be shutdown when it receives a BPDU. When
only
bpduguard is implemented, although the interface is placed in an Error Disabled state when receiving
the BPDU, the physical interface remains up and spanning-tree will drop
packets in the hardware after a
BPDU violation. BPDUs are dropped in the software after receiving the BPDU violation. This feature is
the same as PortFast mode in Spanning Tree.

Change the port cost of an interface.
Range: 0 to 200000
Default: see Table 32-2.

Change the port priority of an interface.
Range: 0 to 240, in increments of 16
Default: 128

Caution: Configure EdgePort only on links connecting to an end station. EdgePort can cause loops if it is enabled
on an interface connected to a network.
