Port Cost
Input a higher cost to indicate that this port is less suitable as a
node for the Multiple Spanning Tree topology. Use the default
value (0) to use port speed in the auto port cost.
Priority
Increase this port’s priority as a node on the Multiple Spanning
Tree topology by entering a lower number.
Point to Point Port
If the port is connected to only one bridge, the port is called point
to point port.
Edge Port
Select to enable or disable the port as the edge port.

7.1 Port Trunking
Trunking, sometimes called Link Aggregation, is a way to parallel Switch ports
using a few cables to improve the bandwidth and generate link redundancy.
Trunks are a very useful function in building redundancy network. Managed
series of switches provide Trunking function, which allows two or more ports to
be a group of Trunking as a single logical link in order to improve the
bandwidth and link redundancy; when a physical connection cannot
communicate or fails, other link in Trunking group will take over and maintain
communications, in this case fast recovery mechanism is set up.
