The STP port priority influences the choice of port when the bridge has two 
ports connected to the same LAN, creating a loop. The port with the lowest 
port priority will be the one used by the Spanning Tree Protocol.

Port priority is a 1-octet value. 

To configure the port priority: 

1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

You are prompted for the port type.

2 Enter 

, 

, or 

.

You are prompted for the port number(s).

3 Enter the number(s) of the port(s) or 

 to configure the port priority for 

all ports on each bridge. 

You are prompted for the port priority for each port you specified.

4 Enter the port priority for the port(s).

The following example shows values being set for more than one port:

Ethernet port 3 - Enter new value [0x80]: 

Ethernet port 4 - Enter new value [0x80]: 

If your configuration was successful, you return to the previous menu. If the 
configuration was not successful, you are notified that your changes failed, 
and you can try to re-enter those changes.
