Path Cost Indicates the port contribution to the root path cost. The path cost is adjusted to a
higher or lower value, and is used to forward traffic when a path being rerouted.
Value Rage : 1-20000000.
Default Path Cost - The default path cost of the port is automatically set by the
port speed and the default path cost method. The default values for path costs are:
- Ethernet - 2000000
- Fast Ethernet - 200000
- Gigabit Ethernet - 20000
Default Path Cost When selected the default path cost is implemented.
Priority Indicates priority value of the port. The priority value influences the port choice
when a bridge has two ports connected in a loop. The priority value is between 0
-240. The priority value is provided in increments of 16.
Designated Bridge ID Indicates the bridge priority and the MAC Address of the designated bridge.
Designated Port ID Indicates the selected port’s priority and interface.
Designated Cost Where indicates the cost of the port participating in the STP topology. Ports with a
lower cost are less likely to be blocked if STP detects loops.
Forward Transitions This indicates the number of times the port has changed from the Blocking state to
Forwarding state.
