Setting Default Value Range Purpose
Bridge forward delay 15 4-30 The period of time a bridge will
wait (the listen and learn period)
before beginning to forward data
packets.
Ethernet port (ETH A)
path cost 100 0-65535 The cost of using the port to
reach the root bridge. When
selecting among multiple links to
the root bridge, STP chooses the
link with the lowest path cost and
blocks the other paths. Each port
type has its own default STP path
cost.
Ethernet port (ETH A)
priority 128 0-255 The preference that STP gives
this port relative to other ports for
forwarding traffic out of the
spanning tree.
A higher numerical value means
a lower priority; thus, the highest
priority is 8.
Ethernet port (ETH B)
path cost 100 0-65535 The cost of using the port to
reach the root bridge. When
selecting among multiple links to
the root bridge, STP chooses the
link with the lowest path cost and
blocks the other paths. Each port
type has its own default STP path
cost.
Ethernet port (ETH B)
priority 128 0-255 The preference that STP gives
this port relative to other ports for
forwarding traffic out of the
spanning tree.
A higher numerical value means
a lower priority; thus, the highest
priority is 8.
Radio port (Radio A)
path cost 100 0-65535 The cost of using the port to
reach the root bridge. When
selecting among multiple links to
the root bridge, STP chooses the
link with the lowest path cost and
blocks the other paths. Each port
type has its own default STP path
cost.
Radio port (Radio A)
priority 128 0-255 The preference that STP gives
this port relative to other ports for
