You can specify a standard for the device to use in automatic calculation for the default path cost.
The device supports the following standards:
•
dot1d-1998
—The device calculates the default path cost for ports based on IEEE 802.1d-1998.
•
dot1t
—The device calculates the default path cost for ports based on IEEE 802.1t.
•
legacy
—The device calculates the default path cost for ports based on a private standard.
When you specify a standard for the device to use when it calculates the default path cost, follow
these guidelines:
•
When it calculates the path cost for an aggregate interface, IEEE 802.1t takes into account the
number of Selected ports in its aggregation group. However, IEEE 802.1d-1998 does not take
into account the number of Selected ports. The calculation formula of IEEE 802.1t is: Path cost
= 200,000,000/link speed (in 100 kbps). The link speed is the sum of the link speed values of
the Selected ports in the aggregation group.
•
IEEE 802.1d-1998 or the private standard always assigns the smallest possible value to a
single port or aggregate interface with a speed exceeding 10 Gbps. The forwarding path
selected based on this criterion might not be the best one. To solve this problem, perform one of
the following tasks:
{
Use
dot1t
as the standard for default path cost calculation.
{
Manually set the path cost for the port (see "
