• Link Path Cost – This parameter is used by the STP 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. (Path cost
takes precedence over port priority.)
• Range: 1-65535
• Default: Ethernet interface: 19; Wireless interface: 40
• Link Port Priority – Defines the priority used for this port in the Spanning Tree
Protocol. If the path cost for all ports on a switch are the same, the port with the
highest priority (i.e., lowest value) will be configured as an active link in the
spanning tree. This makes a port with higher priority less likely to be blocked if the
Spanning Tree Protocol is detecting network loops. Where more than one port is
assigned the highest priority, the port with lowest numeric identifier will be enabled.
• Default: 128
• Range: 0-240, in steps of 16
CLI Commands for WDS Settings – To set the role of the access point radio
interface, use the bridge role command from the CLI wireless interface
configuration mode. If the role of the radio interface is set to “Bridge” or “Repeater,”
the MAC address of the parent node must also be configured using the bridge-link
parent command. If the role is set to anything other than “Access Point,” then you
should also configure the MAC addresses of the child nodes using the bridge-link
child command. To view the current bridge link settings, use the show bridge link
command.
