spanning-tree mst cost The spanning-tree mst cost Interface Configuration mode command configures the path cost for multiple spanning tree (MST) calculations. If a loop occurs, the spanning tree considers path cost when selecting an interface to put in the forwarding state. To return to the default configuration, use the no form of this command. Syntax spanning-tree mst instance-id cost cost no spanning-tree mst instance-id cost • instance-ID - ID of the spanning -tree instance (Range: 1-15). • cost - The port path cost. (Range: 1 - 200,000,000) Default Setting Default path cost is determined by port speed and path cost method (long or short) as shown below: Interface Port-channel Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) Ethernet (10 Mbps) Long 20,000 20,000 200,000 2,000,000 Short 4 4 19 100 Command Modes Interface Configuration (Ethernet, port-channel) mode Default Configuration There is no default configuration for this command. Example The following example configures the MSTP instance 1 path cost for Ethernet port e9 to 4. Console(config) # interface ethernet 1/e9 Console(config-if) # spanning-tree mst 1 cost 4 spanning-tree mst configuration The spanning-tree mst configuration Global Configuration mode command enables configuring an MST region by entering the Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) mode.
