Usage Information
This command is used to keep the port-channel path cost constant regardless of the operational status of the
port-channel member ports.
This command is supported in all STP modes such as STP, RSTP, MSTP, and PVST.
The command behavior does not change when a new member port is added to the port-channel or an existing
member port is deleted from the configuration. The path cost reflects the cumulative speed of the port-channel
member ports.
Example
DELLEMC(conf)#protocol spanning-tree pvst
DELLEMC(conf-pvst)#port-channel path-cost custom
protocol spanning-tree mstp
To enable and configure the multiple spanning tree group, enter MULTIPLE SPANNING TREE mode.
Syntax
protocol spanning-tree mstp
To disable the multiple spanning tree group, use the no protocol spanning-tree mstp command.
Defaults Not configured.
