Table 12 lists the RSTP port costs with Auto-Detect.

Table 13 lists the RSTP port costs with Auto-Detect when the port is part
of a port trunk.

You can override Auto-Detect and set the port cost manually.

Port Priority

If two paths have the same port cost, the bridges must select a preferred
path. In some instances this can involve the use of the port priority
parameter. This parameter is used as a tie breaker when two paths have
the same cost.

The range for port priority is 0 to 240. As with bridge priority, this range is
broken into increments, in this case multiples of 16. To select a port priority
for a port, you enter the increment of the desired value. Table 14 lists the
values and increments. The default value is 128, which is increment 8.
