spanning-tree cost
Use this command to configure the Spanning Tree path cost for the
specified interface. Use the no form to restore the default.
Syntax
spanning-tree cost cost
no spanning-tree cost
cost - The path cost for the interface.
(Range – 1-200,000,000)
The recommended range is -
- Ethernet: 200,000-20,000,000
- Fast Ethernet: 20,000-2,000,000
- Gigabit Ethernet: 2,000-200,000
Default Setting
• Ethernet – half duplex: 2,000,000; full duplex: 1,000,000; trunk:
500,000
• Fast Ethernet – half duplex: 200,000; full duplex: 100,000; trunk:
50,000
• Gigabit Ethernet – full duplex: 10,000; trunk: 5,000
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
• This command is used by the Spanning-Tree Protocol to determine the
best path between devices. Therefore, lower values should be assigned
to interfaces attached to faster media, and higher values assigned to
interfaces with slower media.
• Path cost takes precedence over interface priority.
• When the Spanning-Tree pathcost method is set to short, the
maximum value for path cost is 65,535.
