Spanning Tree - MSTI Ports
PoE Switch User Manual | 127
This page contains MSTI port settings for physical and aggregated ports. The aggregation
settings are stack global.
Apart from the selected MSTI, the STP MSTI port settings also relate to the currently selected
stack unit, as reflected by the page header.
Port
The switch port number of the corresponding STP CIST (and MSTI) 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 favour of higher path cost ports. Valid values are in the range 1 to
200000000.
Priority
Controls the port priority. This can be used to control priority of ports having identical port cost.
