Configuring MSTP Port Settings
The MSTP port settings are divided into two groups. The parameters in the
first group are set just once on a port, regardless of the number of MSTIs
in which a port is a member. These settings are:
ˆ External path cost
ˆ Point-to-point designation
ˆ Edge port designation
The procedure for setting these parameters is in “Configuring Generic
MSTP Port Settings,” next.
The second group of port parameters can be set independently for each
MSTI where a port is a member. These parameters are:
ˆ Internal path cost
ˆ Priority
To set these parameters, refer to “Configuring MSTI-specific Port
Parameters” on page 460.
