Configuring Interface Settings for STA
– 204 –
port priority. (Range: 0 for auto-configuration, 1-65535 for the short
path cost method
3 , 1-200,000,000 for the long path cost method)
By default, the system automatically detects the speed and duplex
mode used on each port, and configures the path cost according to the
values shown below. Path cost “0” is used to indicate auto-configuration
mode. When the short path cost method is selected and the default
path cost recommended by the IEEE 8021w standard exceeds 65,535,
the default is set to 65,535.
◆ Admin Link Type – The link type attached to this interface.
■
Point-to-Point – A connection to exactly one other bridge.
■
Shared – A connection to two or more bridges.
■
Auto – The switch automatically determines if the interface is
attached to a point-to-point link or to shared media. (This is the
default setting.)
3. Refer to "Configuring Global Settings for STA" on page 197 for information on setting
the path cost method.
