Configuring MSTP Port Settings
As explained in “Ports in Multiple MSTIs” on page 512, MSTP port settings
are divided into two groups. The parameters in the first group are set just
once on a port. The setting for a generic port parameter applies to all
MSTIs in which the port is a member. These settings are:
ˆ External path cost
ˆ Point-to-point designation
ˆ Edge port designation
The procedure for setting these parameters is in “Configuring Generic
MSTP Port Settings” on page 536.
The second group of port parameters can be set independently for each
MSTI in which the port is a member. This means that you can assign a
port a different value to an MSTI-specific parameter for each spanning
tree instance where the port is a member. These parameters are:
ˆ Internal path cost
ˆ Priority
To set these parameters, refer to “Configuring MSTI-specific Port
Parameters” on page 538.
Configuring
Generic MSTP
Port Settings
To configure the external path cost of a port or to designate whether the
port is an edge or point-to-point port, perform the following procedure:
1. From the MSTP Menu, type P to select MSTP Port Parameters.
The MSTP Port Parameters menu is shown in Figure 182.
