16- and 36-Port Ethernet Switch Module for Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, and Cisco 3700 Series
Configuration Tasks

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XT, 12.2(8)T, and 12.2(15)ZJ
To return to the default setting, use the bridge-group bridge-group priority number interface
configuration command.
Assigning a Path Cost
Each interface has a path cost associated with it. By convention, the path cost is 1000/data rate of the
attached LAN, in Mbps.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign a path cost:
To return to the default path cost, use the no bridge-group bridge-group path-cost cost interface
configuration command.
Adjusting BPDU Intervals
You can adjust BPDU intervals as described in these sections:
•
Adjusting the Interval between Hello BPDUs, page 127
Step 3
bridge-group bridge-group priority
number
Changes the priority of an interface.
•
For bridge-group, specify the bridge group number. The range is 1
to 255.
•
For number, enter a number from 0 to 255. The lower the number,
the more likely that the interface on the switch will be chosen as the
root. The default is 128.
Step 4
end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show running-config
Verifies your entry.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Saves your entry in the configuration file.

Step 1
configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id
Enters interface configuration mode, and specify the interface to set the
path cost.
Step 3
bridge-group bridge-group path-cost
cost
Assigns the path cost of an interface.
•
For bridge-group, specify the bridge group number. The range is 1
to 255.
•
For cost, enter a number from 1 to 65536. The higher the value, the
higher the cost.
–
For 10 Mbps, the default path cost is 100.
–
For 100 Mbps, the default path cost is 19.
–
For 1000 Mbps, the default path cost is 4.
Step 4
end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show running-config
Verifies your entry.
Step 6
