configure stpd <stpd_name> ports priority <priority> <port_list>
Description
Specifies the port priority of the port in the specified STPD.
Syntax Description
Default
The default setting is 16.
Usage Guidelines
After you have created the STPD with a unique name, the keyword stpd is optional.
You should not configure any STP parameters unless you have considerable knowledge and experience
with STP. The default STP parameters are adequate for most networks.
By changing the priority of the port, you can make it more or less likely to become the root port or a
designated port.
A setting of 0 indicates the highest priority.
On a modular switch, <port_list> can be a list of slots and ports. For a detailed explanation of port
specification, see “Modular Switch Numerical Ranges” in Chapter 1.
The range for the priority parameter is 0 through 31.
Example
The following command assigns a priority of 1 to slot 2, ports 1 through 5 in STPD s0:
configure stpd s0 ports priority 1 2:1-2:5
stpd_name Specifies an STPD name on the switch.
priority Specifies a numerical port priority value. The range is 0 through 31.
port_list Specifies one or more slots and ports. May be in the form 2:*, 2:5, 2:6-2:8.
