Configure the path cost
for the port
stp
[ instance
instance-id
] cost cost
Required
A MSTP-enabled switch
can calculate path costs
for all its ports
automatically.
Changing the path cost of a port may change the role of the port and put it in state
transition. Executing the stp cost command with the instance-id argument being 0 sets
the path cost on the CIST for the port.
III. Configuration example (A)
# Configure the path cost of Ethernet1/0/1 in spanning tree instance 1 to be 2,000.
1) Perform this configuration in system view.
[H3C] stp interface ethernet1/0/1 instance 1 cost 2000
2) Perform this configuration in Ethernet port view.
[H3C] interface ethernet1/0/1
[H3C-Ethernet1/0/1] stp instance 1 cost 2000
IV. Configuration example (B)
# Configure the path cost of Ethernet1/0/1 in spanning tree instance 1 to be calculated
by the MSTP-enabled switch according to the IEEE 802.1D-1998 standard.
1) Perform this configuration in system view.
