8. Configure the following parameters as necessary.

Port Priority
This parameter is used as a tie breaker when two or more ports are
determined to have equal costs to the root bridge. The range is 0 to
240 in increments of 16. The default value is 8 (priority value 128). For
a list of the increments, refer to Table 7 on page 307.

Port Cost
The spanning tree algorithm uses the cost parameter to decide which
port provides the lowest cost path to the root bridge for that LAN. The
range is 0 to 20,000,000. The default setting is Automatic detect, which
sets port cost depending on the speed of the port. Default values are
2,000,000 for 10 Mbps ports, 200,000 for a 100 Mbps ports, and
20,000 for one gigabit ports.

Point-to-Point
This parameter defines whether the port is functioning as a point-to-
point port. The possible settings are Yes, No, and Auto-Detect. For an
explanation of this parameter, refer to “Point-to-Point and Edge Ports”
in Chapter 23, “Spanning Tree and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocols” in
the AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide.

Edge Port
This parameter defines whether the port is functioning as an edge port.
The possible settings are Yes and No. For an explanation of this
parameter, refer to “Point-to-Point and Edge Ports” in Chapter 23,
“Spanning Tree and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocols” in the AT-S63
Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide
