Step Command
Remarks
3.
Configure the path cost of the
ports.
•
In STP/RSTP mode:
stp cost
cost
•
In PVST mode:
stp vlan
vlan-list
cost

•
In MSTP mode:
stp

]
cost
cost
Use one of the commands.
By default, the system
automatically calculates the
path cost of each port.
Configuration example
# In MSTP mode, specify the device to calculate the default path costs of its ports by using IEEE
802.1d-1998, and set the path cost of Ethernet 1/0/3 to 200 on MSTI 2.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp pathcost-standard dot1d-1998
[Sysname] interface ethernet 1/0/3
[Sysname-Ethernet1/0/3] stp instance 2 cost 200
# In PVST mode, specify the device to calculate the default path costs of its ports by using IEEE
802.1d-1998, and set the path cost of Ethernet 1/0/3 to 2000 on VLANs 20 through 30.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp mode pvst
[Sysname] stp pathcost-standard dot1d-1998
[Sysname] interface ethernet 1/0/3
[Sysname-Ethernet1/0/3] stp vlan 20 to 30 cost 2000
Configuring the port priority
When the priority of a port changes, MSTP re-calculates the role of the port and initiates a state transition.
The priority of a port is an important factor in determining whether the port can be elected as the root
port of a device. If all other conditions are the same, the port with the highest priority will be elected as
the root port.
On a spanning tree device, a port can have different priorities and play different roles in different
spanning trees, so that data of different VLANs can be propagated along different physical paths,
implementing per-VLAN load balancing. You can set port priority values based on the actual networking
requirements.
To configure the priority of a port or a group of ports:
