port in the Spanning Tree Protocol. If
the path cost for all ports on a switch are the same, the port with the highest
priority (i.e., lowest value) will be configured as an active link in the Spanning Tree.
This makes a port with higher priority less likely to be blocked if the Spanning Tree
Protocol is detecting network loops. Where more than one port is assigned the
highest priority, the port with lowest numeric identifier will be enabled.
You can configure RSTP attributes for specific interfaces, including port priority,
path cost, link type, and edge po
