Configuring link cost
The cost of a link is used to determine the least-costly path for a frame from the source to the destination
switch. The cost of a path is the sum of the costs of all the ISLs traversed by that path.
Every ISL has a default cost that is inversely proportional to its bandwidth. For a 1-Gbit/sec ISL, the default
link cost is 1,000; for a 2-Gbit/sec ISL, the default link cost is 500.
Although you can also configure link cost when you configure a port, the following procedure is useful for
configuring the link cost of multiple ports at the same time:
1. Access the Switch Manager.
2. Click Administration in the navigation bar.
3. Click the Routing tab.
4. Click the Link Cost subtab (see Figure 29).
5. Select the appropriate port.
You can select more than one port by pressing Shift-click and Ctrl-click.
6. Click Edit in the task bar.
The Edit Link Cost dialog box opens.
7. Select the link cost:
•Click Auto to automatically set the link cost to the default link cost, which is based on port speed (for
a 1-Gbit/sec ISL, the link cost is 1000; for a 2-Gbit/sec ISL, the link cost is 500).
•Click Custom and enter the static link cost. You can enter an integer from 1 to 65,535.
8. Click OK.
