6. Adjust the settings as desired. The parameters are described below.
1 - Port Priority
This parameter is used as a tie breaker when two or more ports are
determined to have equal costs to the root bridge. The range is 0
to 240 in increments of 16. The default value is 8 (priority value
128). For a list of the increments, refer to Table 15, Port Priority
Value Increments on page 460.
2 - Port Cost
The spanning tree algorithm uses the cost parameter to decide
which port provides the lowest cost path to the root bridge for
that LAN. The range is 0 to 65,535. The default setting is Automatic
Update, which sets port cost depending on the speed of the port.
For the default values used by Automatic Update, refer Table 11
on page 458 and Table 12 on page 459.
All changes are immediately activated on the switch.
7. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then
type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
