DETAILED STEPS
To return to the default setting, use the bridge-group bridge-group priority number interface
configuration command.
Assigning a Path Cost
Each interface has a path cost associated with it. By convention, the path cost is 1000/data rate of the
attached LAN, in Mbps.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign a path cost.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. interface interface-id
3. bridge-group bridge-group path-cost cost

Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id
Enters interface configuration mode, and specifies the interface to set

number
Changes the priority of an interface.
• For bridge-group, specify the bridge group number. The range is 1
to 255.
• For number, enter a number from 0 to 255. The lower the number,
the more likely that the interface on the switch will be chosen as the
root. The default is 128.
