Configuring the Path Cost for a Port
The path cost parameter reflects the rate of the link connected to the port. For a port on an
MSTP-enabled switch, the path cost may be different in different MSTIs. You can enable flows of
different VLANs to travel along different physical links by configuring appropriate path costs on ports, so
that VLAN-based load balancing can be implemented.
Path cost of a port can be determined by the switch or through manual configuration.
Standards for calculating path costs of ports
Currently, a switch can calculate the path costs of ports based on one of the following standards:
z dot1d-1998: Adopts the IEEE 802.1D-1998 standard to calculate the default path costs of ports.
z dot1t: Adopts the IEEE 802.1t standard to calculate the default path costs of ports.
z legacy: Adopts the proprietary standard to calculate the default path costs of ports.
Follow these steps to specify the standard for calculating path costs:

Optional
By default, the legacy standard
is used to calculate the default
path costs of ports.
