The cost to use in cost calculations, when the cost style parameter is set to STP in the bridge
RSTP parameter configuration. Setting the cost manually provides the ability to preferentially select
specific ports to carry traffic over others. Leave this field set to 'auto' to use the standard STP port
costs as negotiated (four for 1Gbps, 19 for 100 Mbps links and 100 for 10 Mbps links). For MSTP,
this parameter applies to both external and internal path costs.
