Command Description
prior
Configures the port priority. The port priority helps
determine which bridge port becomes the designated
port.
In a network topology that has multiple bridge ports
connected to a single segment, the port with the lowest
port priority becomes the designated port for the
segment.
The range is 0 to 255, and the default is 128.
cost
<new port Path Cost>
Configures the port path cost. The port path cost is
used to help determine the designated port for a
segment. Generally speaking, the faster the port, the
lower the path cost.
The range is 1 to 65535. The default is 10 for 100Mb/s
ports, and 1 for Gigabit ports. A value of zero (0)
indicates that the default cost will be computed for an
auto-negotiated link speed.
on
Enables STP on the port.
off
Disables STP on the port.
cur
Displays the current STP port parameters.
