when an interface is selected within a STP instance. The default setting is 0 (auto). There are
two options:

0 (auto)

media speed of the interface.

value 1-200000000
- Selecting this parameter with a value in the range of
1
to
200000000
will set the quickest route when a loop occurs. A lower Internal cost
represents a quicker transmission.
