# In PVST mode, perform the following tasks:
• Configure the device to calculate the default path costs of its ports by using IEEE 802.1d-1998.
• Set the path cost of Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 to 2000 on VLAN 20 through VLAN 30.

Cost of every port will be reset and automatically re-calculated after you change the
current pathcost standard. Continue?[Y/N]:y

Configuring the port priority
The priority of a port is a factor that determines whether the port can be elected as the root port of a
device. If all other conditions are the same, the port with the highest priority is elected as the root
port.
On a spanning tree device, a port can have different priorities and play different roles in different
spanning trees. As a result, data of different VLANs can be propagated along different physical paths,
implementing per-VLAN load balancing. You can set port priority values based on the actual
networking requirements.
When the priority of a port changes, the system recalculates the port role and initiates a state
transition.
To configure the priority of a port:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet
interface or Layer 2
aggregate interface view.
interface
interface-type interface-number N/A
3. Configure the port priority.
• In STP/RSTP mode:
stp port priority priority
• In PVST mode:
stp vlan vlan-id-list port priority
priority
• In MSTP mode:
stp [ instance instance-list ] port
priority priority
The default setting is 128
for all ports.
Configuring the port link type
A point-to-point link directly connects two devices. If two root ports or designated ports are connected
over a point-to-point link, they can rapidly transit to the forwarding state after a proposal-agreement
handshake process.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure the port link type, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
