RELATED COMMANDS
spanning-tree edge-port (1080)

spanning-tree cost This command configures the spanning tree path cost for the specified
interface. Use the no form to restore the default auto-configuration mode.
SYNTAX
spanning-tree cost cost
no spanning-tree cost
cost - The path cost for the port. (Range: 0 for auto-configuration,
1-65535 for short path cost method
23
, 1-200,000,000 for long path
cost method)
DEFAULT SETTING
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 below. Path cost “0” is used to indicate auto-configuration mode.
When the short path cost method is selected and the default path cost
recommended by the IEEE 8021w standard exceeds 65,535, the default is
set to 65,535.
COMMAND MODE
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
COMMAND USAGE
◆ This command is used by the Spanning Tree 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.
23. Use the spanning-tree pathcost method command on page 1071 to set the path cost
method.
