Configuring MSTP
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the MSTP cost of an interface. This
procedure is optional.
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
spanning-tree mst instance-id cost cost
Step 4
end
Step 5
show spanning-tree mst interface interface-id
or
show spanning-tree mst instance-id
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
The show spanning-tree mst interface interface-id privileged EXEC command displays information
Note
only for ports that are in a link-up operative state. Otherwise, you can use the show running-config
privileged EXEC command to confirm the configuration.
To return the interface to its default setting, use the no spanning-tree mst instance-id cost interface
configuration command.
Configuring the Switch Priority
You can configure the switch priority and make it more likely that the switch will be chosen as the root
switch.
Exercise care when using this command. For most situations, we recommend that you use the
Note
spanning-tree mst instance-id root primary and the spanning-tree mst instance-id root secondary
global configuration commands to modify the switch priority.
OL-8915-03
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Specify an interface to configure, and enter interface
configuration mode. Valid interfaces include physical ports and
port-channel logical interfaces. The port-channel range is 1 to 48.
Configure the cost.
If a loop occurs, the MSTP uses the path cost when selecting an
interface to place into the forwarding state. A lower path cost
represents higher-speed transmission.
For instance-id, you can specify a single instance, a range of
•
instances separated by a hyphen, or a series of instances
separated by a comma. The range is 0 to 4094.
For cost, the range is 1 to 200000000; the default value is
•
derived from the media speed of the interface.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
