Enter a value from 0 to 240 divisible by 16. Port priority is an important
criterion on determining if the port connected to this port will be chosen
as the root port. The lower value has the higher priority.
Ext-Path Cost:
ExtPath Cost is used to choose the path and calculate the path costs
of ports in different MST regions. It is an important criterion on
determining the root port. The lower value has the higher priority.
Int-Path Cost: IntPath Cost is used to choose the path and calculate the path costs of
ports in an MST region. It is an important criterion on determining the
root port. The lower value has the higher priority.
Edge Port: Select Enable/Disable Edge Port. The e
dge port can transit its state
from blocking to forwarding rapidly without waiting for forward delay.

reduce the unnecessary forward delay.
