spanning-tree cost
This command configures the spanning tree path cost for the specified
interface. Use the
no
form to restore the default.
Syntax
spanning-tree
cost
cost
no spanning-tree cost
cost
- The path cost for the port.
(Range: 0 for auto-configuration, or 1-200,000,000)
The recommended range is:
• Ethernet: 200,000-20,000,000
• Fast Ethernet: 20,000-2,000,000
• Gigabit Ethernet: 2,000-200,000
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet: 200-20,000
Default Setting
By default, the system automatically detects the speed and duplex mode
used on each port, and configures the path cost according to the values
shown below. Path cost “0” is used to indicate auto-configuration
mode.
• Ethernet – half duplex: 2,000,000; full duplex: 1,000,000; trunk:
500,000
• Fast Ethernet – half duplex: 200,000; full duplex: 100,000; trunk:
50,000
• Gigabit Ethernet – full duplex: 10,000; trunk: 5,000
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet – full duplex: 1000; trunk: 500
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet Ports 1-8, Port Channel)
Command Usage
• This command is used by the Spanning Tree Algorithm to determine
the best path between devices. Therefore, lower values should be
assigned to ports attached to faster media, and higher values assigned
to ports with slower media.
• Path cost takes precedence over port priority.
