Configuring Rapid PVST+ Configuring the Rapid PVST+ Pathcost Method and Port Cost Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Command or Action switch# configure terminal Purpose Enters configuration mode. switch(config)# interface type slot/port Specifies the interface to configure, and enters interface configuration mode. switch(config-if)# spanning-tree Configures the port priority for the LAN interface. The [vlan vlan-list] port-priority priority priority value can be from 0 to 224. The lower the value, the higher the priority. The priority values are 0, 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, and 224. All other values are rejected. The default value is 128. This example shows how to configure the access port priority of an Ethernet interface: switch# configure terminal switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4 switch(config-if)# spanning-tree port-priority 160 You can only apply this command to a physical Ethernet interface. Configuring the Rapid PVST+ Pathcost Method and Port Cost On access ports, you assign port cost by the port. On trunk ports, you assign the port cost by VLAN; you can configure the same port cost on all the VLANs on a trunk. Note In Rapid PVST+ mode, you can use either the short or long pathcost method, and you can configure the method in either the interface or configuration submode.The default pathcost method is short. Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Command or Action switch# configure terminal Purpose Enters configuration mode. switch(config)# spanning-tree Selects the method used for Rapid PVST+ pathcost pathcost method {long | short} calculations. The default method is the short method. switch(config)# interface type slot/port Specifies the interface to configure, and enters interface configuration mode. switch(config-if)# spanning-tree Configures the port cost for the LAN interface. The cost [vlan vlan-id] cost [value | auto] value, depending on the pathcost calculation method, can be as follows: • short-1 to 65535 • long-1 to 200000000 Note You configure this parameter per interface on access ports and per VLAN on trunk ports.

Procedure

Purpose

Command or Action

Enters configuration mode.

switch#

configure terminal

Step 1

Specifies the interface to configure, and enters interface

configuration mode.

switch(config)#

interface

type

slot

port

Step 2

Configures the port priority for the LAN interface. The

priority

value can be from 0 to 224. The lower the value,

switch(config-if)#

spanning-tree

[

vlan

vlan-list

]

port-priority

priority

Step 3

the higher the priority. The priority values are 0, 32, 64,

96, 128, 160, 192, and 224. All other values are rejected.

The default value is 128.

This example shows how to configure the access port priority of an Ethernet interface:

switch#

configure terminal

switch(config)#

interface ethernet 1/4

switch(config-if)#

spanning-tree port-priority 160

You can only apply this command to a physical Ethernet interface.

Configuring the Rapid PVST+ Pathcost Method and Port Cost

On access ports, you assign port cost by the port. On trunk ports, you assign the port cost by VLAN; you can

configure the same port cost on all the VLANs on a trunk.

In Rapid PVST+ mode, you can use either the short or long pathcost method, and you can configure the

method in either the interface or configuration submode.The default pathcost method is short.

Note

Procedure

Purpose

Command or Action

Enters configuration mode.

switch#

configure terminal

Step 1

Selects the method used for Rapid PVST+ pathcost

calculations. The default method is the short method.

switch(config)#

spanning-tree

pathcost method

{

long

short

}

Step 2

Specifies the interface to configure, and enters interface

configuration mode.

switch(config)#

interface

type

slot

port

Step 3

Configures the port cost for the LAN interface. The cost

value, depending on the pathcost calculation method, can

be as follows:

switch(config-if)#

spanning-tree

[

vlan

vlan-id

]

cost

[

value

auto

]

Step 4

• short—1 to 65535

• long—1 to 200000000

You configure this parameter per interface on

access ports and per VLAN on trunk ports.
