Configuring the PVST+ Port Cost
You can configure the port cost of switch ports. The ports with lower port costs are more likely to be
chosen to forward frames. Assign lower numbers to ports that are
attached to faster media (such as full
duplex) and higher numbers to ports that are attached to slower media. The possible cost is from 1–65535
when using the short method for calculating port cost and from 1–200000000 when using the long
method. The default cost differs for different media. For information about calculating the port cost, see
the
“Calculating and Assigning Port Costs” section on page 7-4
.
To configure the PVST+ port cost for a port, perform this task in privileged mode:
Note
When you enter the
set spantree channelcost
command, it does not appear in the configuration file. The
command causes a “set spantree portcost” entry to be created for each port in the channel. See the
“Setting the EtherChannel Port Path Cost”
section in
Chapter 6, “Configuring EtherChannel,”
for
information on using the
set spantree channelcost
command.
This example shows how to configure the PVST+ port cost on a port and verify the configuration:
Console> (enable)
set spantree portcost 2/3 12
Spantree port 2/3 path cost set to 12.
Console> (enable)
show spantree 2/3
