The option is Enable or Disable. The default value is Disable. When BPDU forwarding is
enabled, the switch forwards the BPDU traffic arriving on the port when STP is disabled

not detect BPDUs for some time.
The option is Enable or Disable. The default value is Enable.
11. In the Path Cost field, set the path cost to a new value for the specified port in the common
and internal spanning tree.
Specify a value in the range from 0 to 200000000. The default is 0. When the path cost is
set to 0, the value is updated with the external path cost from an incoming STP packet.
12. In the Priority field, specify the priority for a particular port within the CST
.
The port priority is set in multiples of 16. For example if you attempt to set the priority to
any value between 0 and 15, it is set to 0. If you try to set it to any value between 16 and
(2*16 – 1), it is set to 16, and so on.
The range is 0 to 240. The default value is 128.
