3Com Switch 7750 Series
Command Reference Guide – MSTP
Chapter 1 MSTP Configuration Commands
1-14
Description
Use the
stp cost
command to set the path cost of the current port in a specified
spanning tree instance.
Use the
undo stp cost
command to revert to the default path cost of the current port in
the specified spanning tree instance.
By default, a switch automatically calculates the path costs of a port in different
spanning tree instances based on a specified standard.
If you specify the
instance-id
argument to be 0 or do not specify this argument, the
stp
cost
command sets the path cost of the port on CIST.
The path costs of a port in spanning tree instances affect the roles of the ports in the
spanning tree instances. By configuring different path costs for the same port in
different MSTIs, you can make flows of different VLANs traveling along different
physical links, so as to achieve VLAN-based load balancing. Changing the path cost of
a port in a spanning tree instance may change the role of the port in the instance and
put it in state transition.
