stpPriority
Sets the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) bridge port priority. This value
influences the choice of port when the bridge has two or more ports that
have the same path cost and that are connected to the same LAN, which
creates a loop. STP selects the bridge port with the lowest priority and
places the remaining ports in the blocking state. The current value is
shown in the priority field of the
bridge port detail
display.

Important Considerations
■
You can use this command to configure the same setting on multiple
ports simultaneously. When you specify multiple port numbers, the
system prompts you to choose the setting and then applies it to all of
the ports.
■
Port priority is a 1-octet value written in hexidecimal format.
■
If all ports in a bridge have the same priority value, then the port
number is used as the determining factor.
■
If your configuration is successful, the previous menu appears. If the
configuration is not successful, the system notifies you that your
changes failed, and you can try to reenter your changes.
