spanning-tree pathcost method long
Step 3
end
Exits the configuration mode.
Step 4
show spanning-tree pathcost method
Displays the spanning tree path cost
method information.
Step 5
write startup-config
Optional step – saves this spanning tree
configuration to be part of startup
configuration.
The “nospanning-tree pathcost method” command resets the path cost method to default
value.
The example below shows how to configure the path cost method.
Configure the path cost method as short.
SMIS# configure terminal
SMIS(config)# spanning-tree pathcost method short
SMIS(config)# end
6.17 Transmit Hold Count
Transmit hold count helps control the BPDU burst traffic. The switch limits the number of BPDUs sent in
one second with the transmit hold count. A higher transmit hold count value of allows switches to send
more number of BPDUs for faster convergence. But it might lead to high switch CPU utilization.
The default transmit hold count is 3.
Follow the steps below to change the transmit hold count value.
