The pathcost parameter sets the internal path cost for the each port. This
parameter specifies a port’s contribution to the cost of a path to the MSTI
regional root via that port. It applies when the port is a root port. The pathcost
for a LAN port should be set in the range of 1 to 200000000. The default
pathcost values and the range of recommended pathcost values depend on the
port speed.
If the pathcost of a port has not been explicitly set by the user, or the default
values have been restored to the port, then the default pathcost for the port will
vary as the speed of the port varies. However, deleting an existing pathcost
value will not reapply the "no value" condition. To reapply the "no value"
condition, enter the word "default".
Example To set port priority of 120 for port 2 in MSTI5, use the command:
set mstp msti=5 port=2 priority=120
