Configuring Interface Settings for STA
– 183 –
Administrative path cost cannot be used to directly determine the root port on
a switch. Connections to other devices use IEEE 802.1Q-2005 to determine the
root port as in the following example.
Figure 94: Determining the Root Port
For BPDU messages received by i1 on SW3, the path cost is 0.
For BPDU messages received by i2 on SW3, the path cost is that of i1 on SW2.
The root path cost for i1 on SW3 used to compete for the role of root port is
0 + path cost of i1 on SW3; 0 since i1 is directly connected to the root bridge.
If the path cost of i1 on SW2 is never configured/changed, it is 10000.
Then the root path cost for i2 on SW3 used to compete for the role of root port
is 10000 + path cost of i2 on SW3.
The path cost of i1 on SW3 is also 10000 if not configured/changed.
Then even if the path cost of i2 on SW3 is configured/changed to 0, these ports
will still have the same root path cost, and it will be impossible for i2 to become
the root port just by changing its path cost on SW3.
For RSTP mode, the root port can be determined simply by adjusting the path
cost of i1 on SW2. However, for MSTP mode, it is impossible to achieve this only
by changing the path cost because external path cost is not added in the same
region, and the regional root for i1 is SW1, but for i2 is SW2.
◆
Admin Link Type
– The link type attached to this interface.
■
Point-to-Point – A connection to exactly one other bridge.
■
Shared – A connection to two or more bridges.
■
Auto – The switch automatically determines if the interface is attached to a
point-to-point link or to shared media. (This is the default setting.)

1 Undefined in standard, but recommended setting is 250.
2 Code does not support 40G path cost, and therefore defaults to 10M half duplex cost.
