spanning-tree link-type The spanning-tree link-type Interface Configuration mode command overrides the default link-type setting determined by the duplex mode of the port and enables Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) transitions to the forwarding state. Use the no form of this command to return to the default configuration. Syntax • spanning-tree link-type {point-to-point | shared} • no spanning-tree link-type • point-to-point - Indicates that the port link type is point-to-point. • shared - Indicates that the port link type is shared. Default Configuration The device derives the port link type from the duplex mode. A full-duplex port is considered a point-topoint link and a half-duplex port is considered a shared link. Command Mode Interface Configuration (Ethernet, port-channel) mode. User Guidelines There are no user guidelines for this command. Example The following example enables shared spanning-tree on Ethernet port 1/e5. Console(config)# interface ethernet 1/e15 Console(config-if)# spanning-tree link-type shared spanning-tree pathcost method The spanning-tree pathcost method Global Configuration mode command sets the default path cost method. Use the no form of this command to return to the default configuration. Syntax • spanning-tree pathcost method {long | short} • no spanning-tree pathcost method • long - Specifies port path costs with a range of 1-200,000,000 . • short - Specifies port path costs with a range of 0-65,535. 364 Spanning-Tree Commands
