1- Port External Path Cost
The port cost of the port if the port is connected to a bridge which is a
member of another MSTP region or is running STP or RSTP. The
range is 0 to 200,000,000. The default setting is Auto, which sets port
cost depending on the speed of the port. Table 20 lists the MSTP port
costs with the Auto setting when the port is not a member of a trunk.
Table 21 lists the MSTP port costs with the Auto setting when the port
is part of a port trunk.

point port. For an explanation of this parameter, refer to “Point-to-Point
