Configuring Spanning-Tree Features
To return to the default setting, use the no spanning-tree [vlan vlan-id] port-priority interface
configuration command. For information on how to configure load sharing on trunk ports by using
spanning-tree port priorities, see the
configuration command. For information on how to configure load sharing on trunk ports by using
spanning-tree port priorities, see the

Configuring Path Cost
The spanning-tree path cost default value is derived from the media speed of an interface. If a loop
occurs, spanning tree uses cost when selecting an interface to put in the forwarding state. You can assign
lower cost values to interfaces that you want selected first and higher cost values that you want selected
last. If all interfaces have the same cost value, spanning tree puts the interface with the lowest interface
number in the forwarding state and blocks the other interfaces.

For cost, the range is 1 to 200000000; the default value is derived

For vlan-id, you can specify a single VLAN identified by
VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by a hyphen,
or a series of VLANs separated by a comma. The range is 1
to 4094.
