spanning-tree cost
spanning-tree cost
Use the
spanning-tree cost
interface configuration
command on the switch stack or on a standalone
switch to set the path cost for spanning-tree calculations. If a loop occurs, spanning tree considers the
path cost when selecting an interface to place in the forwarding state. Use the
no
form of this command
to return to the default setting.

Usage Guidelines
When you configure the cost, higher values represent higher costs.
If you configure an interface with both the
spanning-tree vlan
vlan-id
cost
cost
command and the
spanning-tree cost
cost
command, the
spanning-tree vlan
vlan-id
cost
cost
command takes effect.
Examples
This example shows how to set the path cost to 250 on a port:
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet2/0/1
Switch(config-if)#
spanning-tree cost 250
This example shows how to set a path cost to 300 for VLANs 10, 12 to 15, and 20:
Switch(config-if)#
spanning-tree vlan 10,12-15,20 cost 300
You can verify your settings by entering the
show spanning-tree interface
interface-id
privileged
EXEC command.
vlan
vlan-id
(Optional) VLAN range associated with a spanning-tree instance. You can specify
a single VLAN identified by VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by a
hyphen, or a series of VLANs separated by a comma. The range is 1 to 4094.
cost
Path cost. The range is 1 to 200000000, with higher values meaning higher costs.
