spanning-tree mst cost
This command configures the path cost on a spanning instance in the
Multiple Spanning Tree. Use the no form to restore the default.
Syntax
spanning-tree mst instance_id cost cost
no spanning-tree mst instance_id cost
instance_id - Instance identifier of the spanning tree.
(Range: 0-4094, no leading zeroes)
cost - Path cost for an interface. (Range: 1-200,000,000)
The recommended range is -
- Ethernet: 200,000-20,000,000
- Fast Ethernet: 20,000-2,000,000
- Gigabit Ethernet: 2,000-200,000
- 10 Gigabit Ethernet: 200-20,000
Default Setting
By default, the system automatically detects the speed and duplex mode
used on each port, and configures the path cost according to the values
shown below. Path cost “0” is used to indicate auto-configuration mode.
Ethernet – half duplex: 2,000,000; full duplex: 1,000,000; trunk: 500,000
Fast Ethernet – half duplex: 200,000; full duplex: 100,000; trunk: 50,000
Gigabit Ethernet – full duplex: 10,000; trunk: 5,000
10 Gigabit Ethernet – full duplex: 1000; trunk: 500
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
Each spanning-tree instance is associated with a unique set of VLAN
IDs.
This command is used by the multiple spanning-tree algorithm to
determine the best path between devices. Therefore, lower values should
be assigned to interfaces attached to faster media, and higher values
assigned to interfaces with slower media.
