2.5.4 CIST Ports
Configuration Description
Port The switch port number of the logical STP port.
STP Enabled Controls whether STP is enabled on this switch port.
Path Cost Controls the path cost incurred by the port. The Auto setting will set the path cost as
appropriate by the physical link speed, using the 802.1D recommended values. Using
the Specific setting, a user-defined value can be entered. The path cost is used when
establishing the active topology of the network. Lower path cost ports are chosen as
forwarding ports in favor of higher path cost ports.
Valid values: 1 to 200000000
Priority Controls the port priority. This can be used to control priority of ports having
identical port cost. (See above).
AdminEdge Controls whether the operEdge flag should start as being set or cleared. (The initial
operEdge state when a port is initialized).
operEdge: Operational flag describing whether the port is connecting directly to
edge devices. (No Bridges attached). Transitioning to the forwarding state is faster
for edge ports (having operEdge true) than for other ports.
AutoEdge Controls whether the bridge should enable automatic edge detection on the bridge
