Load Sharing Using STP Path Cost
You can configure parallel trunks to share VLAN traffic by setting different path costs on a trunk and
associating the path costs with different sets of VLANs, blocking different ports for different VLANs.
The VLANs keep the traffic separate and maintain redundancy in the event of a lost link.

VLANs 2 through 4 are assigned a path cost of 30 on Trunk port 1.
VLANs 8 through 10 retain the default 100BASE-T path cost on Trunk port 1 of 19.
VLANs 8 through 10 are assigned a path cost of 30 on Trunk port 2.
VLANs 2 through 4 retain the default 100BASE-T path cost on Trunk port 2 of 19.

Switch B
Purpose
When the trunk links come up, VTP passes the VTP and VLAN
information to Switch B. Verify that Switch B has learned the VLAN
configuration.
Enter global configuration mode on Switch A.
Define the interface to set the STP port priority, and enter interface
configuration mode.
Assign the port priority of 16 for VLANs 8 through 10.
Return to global configuration mode.
Define the interface to set the STP port priority, and enter interface
configuration mode.
Assign the port priority of 16 for VLANs 3 through 6.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
