| Configuring the Switch
Configuring the Spanning Tree Algorithm
– 148 –
By default, the system automatically detects the speed and duplex
mode used on each port, and configures the path cost according to the
values shown in Table 9 , Tab le 10 and Ta b l e 1 1 .
◆ Priority – Defines the priority used for this port in the Spanning Tree
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. This makes a port with higher
priority less likely to be blocked if the Spanning Tree Algorithm is
detecting network loops. Where more than one port is assigned the
highest priority, the port with lowest numeric identifier will be enabled.
(Range: 0-240, in steps of 16; Default: 128)
