spanning-tree mst cost
To set the path cost for multiple spanning-tree (MST) calculations, use the spanning-tree mst cost
command in interface configuration mode. If a loop occurs, spanning tree considers the path cost when
selecting an interface to put in the forwarding state. To return to the default setting, use the no form of
this command.
spanning-tree mst instance-id cost cost
no spanning-tree mst instance-id cost

Examples
This example shows how to set a path cost of 250 on a port associated with instances 2 and 4:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree mst 2,4 cost 250
