Command Usage
◆
This command defines the priority for the use of a port in the Spanning Tree
Algorithm. If the path cost for all ports on a switch are the same, the port with
the highest priority (that is, lowest value) will be configured as an active link in
the spanning tree.
◆
Where more than one port is assigned the highest priority, the port with lowest
numeric identifier will be enabled.
◆
The criteria used for determining the port role is based on root bridge ID, root
path cost, designated bridge, designated port, port priority, and port number,
in that order and as applicable to the role under question.
Example
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5
Console(config-if)#spanning-tree port-priority 0
