MSTP Port Configuration
1. Port: Click on the “Port” drop-down menu to choose port from the “Port”
drop-down list.
2. Priority (Granularity 16): Click in the “Priority” text box to set the port priority
for a bridge group. The Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol uses port priority as a
tiebreaker to determine which port should forward frames for a particular
instance on a LAN, or which port should be the root port for an instance. A
lower value implies a better priority. In the case of the same priority, the inter-
face index will serve as the tiebreaker, with the lower-numbered interface being
preferred over others. The permitted range is 0–240. The priority values can
only be set in increments of 16.
3. Admin. Path Cost: Click in the “Admin. Path Cost” text box to set the cost of a
path associated with an interface.
4. Update setting: Click on the “Update setting” button when you finish MSTP
Port Setting.
