You can have the device automatically calculate the default path cost, or you can configure the path cost
for ports.
Specifying a standard for the device to use when it calculates
the default path cost
CAUTION:
If you change the standard that the device uses to calculate the default path costs, you restore the path
costs to the default.
You can specify a standard for the device to use in automatic calculation for the default path cost. The
device supports the following standards:
•
dot1d-1998
—The device calculates the default path cost for ports based on IEEE 802.1d-1998.
•
dot1t
—The device calculates the default path cost for ports based on IEEE 802.1t.
•
legacy
—The device calculates the default path cost for ports based on a private standard.
shows the mappings between the link speed and the path cost.
