Modifying Interface STP Parameters
You can set the port cost and port priority values of interfaces in Layer 2 mode.
•
Port cost
is a value that is based on the interface type. The greater the port cost, the less likely the port
will be selected to be a forwarding port.
•
Port priority
influences the likelihood that a port will be selected to be a forwarding port in case that
several ports have the same port cost.
The default values are listed in
Table 52-2
.
To change the port cost or priority of an interface:
View the current values for interface parameters using the
show spanning-tree
0
command from EXEC
privilege mode. See
Figure 52-5

Enabling PortFast
The PortFast feature enables interfaces to transition to a forwarding state and start to transmit traffic
approximately 30 seconds sooner.
Interfaces forward frames by default until they receive a BPDU that indicates that they should behave
otherwise; they do not go through the Learning and Listening states. The
bpduguard shutdown-on-violation
option causes the interface hardware to shut down when it receives a BPDU. When only
bpduguard
is
configured, although the interface is placed in an Error Disabled state when receiving the BPDU, the
physical interface remains up and spanning-tree will drop
packets in the hardware after a BPDU violation.
BPDUs are dropped in the software after receiving the BPDU violation.

Caution:
Enable PortFast only on links connecting to an end station. PortFast can cause loops if it is enabled on an
interface connected to a network.
