Generally the path cost of the links in full duplex status is lower than those in half duplex
status.
In calculating the path cost of aggregation links, the 802.1D-1998 does not take into
account the number of aggregation links, but the 802.1T does. The formula involved is:
Path Cost = 200,000,000/link speed in 100Kbps
Where the link speed is the sum of the speed of the ports in unblocked status within the
aggregation links.
1.2.12 Configure the Priority of a Port
For spanning tree calculation, the port priority is an importance factor to determine if a
port can be elected as the root port. With other things being equal, the port with the
highest priority will be elected as the root port. On the MSTP switch, a port can have
different priorities in different STIs and plays different roles respectively. Thus the traffic
from different VLANs can run over different physical links, thereby implementing the
VLAN-based load-balancing.
You can configure the port priority in the following ways.
