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
interface 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.
