A spanning tree instance can exist only on bridges that have
compatible VLAN instance assignments.
n
Be careful when switching between spanning tree modes. Changing
modes stops all spanning-tree instances for the previous mode and
restarts the system in the new mode, temporarily disrupting user
traffic.

The following example configures the switch to use Rapid Spanning Tree:
Console(config)#spanning-tree mode rstp
Console(config)#
spanning-tree
pathcost method
This command configures the path cost method used for Rapid Spanning
Tree and Multiple Spanning Tree. Use the no form to restore the default.

long - Specifies 32-bit based values that range from
1-200,000,000. This method is based on the IEEE 802.1w Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol.
short - Specifies 16-bit based values that range from 1-65535.
This method is based on the IEEE 802.1 Spanning Tree Protocol.

The path cost method is used to determine the best path between devices.
Therefore, lower values should be assigned to ports attached to faster
media, and higher values assigned to ports with slower media. Note that
path cost ( page 912 ) takes precedence over port priority ( page 919 ).
