9. Configure the MST values for the selected interface or interfaces:
• Port Priority: In the Port Priority field, specify the priority for the interface in the
MST instance. The port priority is set in multiples of 16. If you specify a value that
is not a multiple of 16, the priority is automatically set to the next lowest priority
that is a multiple of 16. For example, if you set a value between 0 and 15, the
priority is set to 0. If you specify a number between 16 and 31, the priority is set
to 16. Specify a value in the range from 0 to 240. The default is 128.
• Port Path Cost: In the Port Path Cost field, specify the path cost in the range
from 0 to 200000000. The default is 0.

Description Field
The path cost that the interface uses Operational Port Path Cost
Indicates if the path cost is automatically calculated (Enable) or not
(Disable). If enabled, the path cost is calculated based on the link speed
of the port if the configured value for Port Path Cost is zero. Auto Calculated Port Path Cost
The port identifier for the port in the MST instance, which is created by
using the port priority and the interface number Port ID
The time since the counters were cleared Port Uptime Since Last Clear
Counters
Indicates if STP is enabled for the interface Port Mode
Indicates the current STP state of the interface. If enabled, the port state
determines what forwarding action is taken on traffic. Possible port states
are as follows:
• Disabled: STP is currently disabled on the interface. The interface
forwards traffic while learning MAC addresses.
• Blocking: The interface is currently blocked and cannot be used to
forward traffic or learn MAC addresses.
• Listening: The interface is currently in the listening mode. The interface
cannot forward traffic nor can it learn MAC addresses.
• Learning: The interface is currently in the learning mode. The interface
cannot forward traffic. However, it can learn new MAC addresses.
• Forwarding: The interface is currently in the forwarding mode. The
interface can forward traffic and learn new MAC addresses.
• Manual forwarding: The interface is currently in the manual forwarding
mode. The interface can forward traffic and learn new MAC addresses.
