# In PVST mode, specify the switch to calculate the default path costs of its ports by using IEEE
802.1d-1998, and set the path cost of GigabitEthernet 3/0/3 to 2000 on VLANs 20 through 30.

Configuring the port priority

The priority of a port is an important factor in determining whether the port can be elected as the root
port of a device. If all other conditions are the same, the port with the highest priority will be elected as

the root port.
On a spanning tree device, a port can have different priorities and play different roles in different

spanning trees, so that data of different VLANs can be propagated along different physical paths,

implementing per-VLAN load balancing. You can set port priority values based on the actual networking
requirements.
To configure the priority of a port or a group of ports:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter interface view or port group
view.

Enter Ethernet interface view or
Layer 2 aggregate interface view:

interface interface-type

interface-number

Enter port group view:

port-group manual

port-group-name

Use either command.

3.

Configure the port priority.

In STP/RSTP mode:
stp port priority priority

In PVST mode:

stp vlan vlan-list port priority
priority

In MSTP mode:

stp [ instance instance-id ] port
priority priority

Use any command.
The default setting is
128 for all ports.

NOTE:

If the port priority changes, the system re-calculates the port role and initiate a state transition.
