To configure MST settings for a physical port, click PORTS. 2. To configure MST settings for a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), click LAGS. 3. To configure MST settings for both physical ports and LAGs, click ALL. 4. Select the check box next to the port or LAG to configure. You can select multiple ports and LAGs to apply the same setting to the selected interfaces. Select the check box in the heading row to apply the same settings to all interfaces. 5. Configure the MST values for the selected port(s) or LAG(s): • Port Priority. The priority for a particular port within the selected MST instance. The port priority is set in multiples of 16. If you specify a value that is not a multiple of 16, the priority is set to the priority is automatically set to the next lowest priority that is a multiple of 16. For example, if you set a value between 0 and 15, the priority is set to 0. If you specify a number between 16 and 31, the priority is set to 16. It takes a value in the range of 0-240. • Port Path Cost. Set the Path Cost to a new value for the specified port in the selected MST instance. It takes a value in the range of 1-200000000. 6. Click Cancel to cancel the configuration on the screen and reset the data on the screen to the latest value of the switch 7. If you make any configuration changes, click Apply to send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take place immediately. The following table describes the read-only MST port configuration information displayed on the Spanning Tree CST Configuration page Field Description Auto-calculated Port Path Cost Displays whether the path cost is automatically calculated (Enabled) or not (Disabled). Path cost is calculated based on the link speed of the port if the configured value for Port Path Cost is zero. Port ID The port identifier for the specified port within the selected MST instance. It is made up from the port priority and the interface number of the port. Port Up Time Since Counters Time since the counters were last cleared, displayed in Days, Hours, Last Cleared Minutes, and Seconds. Port Mode Spanning Tree Protocol Administrative Mode associated with the port or port channel. Possible values are Enable or Disable. 104 | Chapter 3: Configuring Switching Information
