5.9.3 Spanning Tree Path Costs

“Spanning tree path cost” is used by the STA algorithm that to determine the best path between devices.

Therefore, lower values should be assigned to ports attached to faster media, and higher values

assigned to ports with slower media. (Path cost takes precedence over port priority.) The default and

recommended range is:

Ethernet: 100 (50~600)

Fast Ethernet: 19 (10~60)

Gigabit Ethernet: 4 (3~10)

The full range is 0 - 65535.

If you highlight Spanning Tree Path Costs in the Spanning Tree Protocol screen and press the Enter

key, a Spanning Tree Path Costs screen similar to the following appears.
