Chapter 15: STP and RSTP
Section II: Advanced Features 232
The port costs of the ports on an AT-8400 Series switch can be adjusted
through the management software. For STP and RSTP, the range is 0 to
200,000,000.
The default value of 0 activates auto-detection. This features sets port
cost according to port speed, assigning lower costs to ports operating at
higher speeds.
Table 10 lists the auto-detection default values for STP and RSTP.
You can override Auto-Detect and set the port cost manually.
Port Priority
If two paths have the same port cost, the bridges must select a preferred
path. In some instances this can involve the use of the port priority
parameter. This parameter can be used as a tie-breaker when two paths
have the same cost.
