GE-DS-242-PoE Managed Ethernet Switch User Manual 
NOTE: 
Path cost "0" is used to indicate auto-configuration mode. When the short path 
cost method is selected and the default path cost recommended by the IEEE 8021w 
standard exceeds 65,535, the default is set to 65,535.  
By default, the system automatically detects the speed and duplex mode used on 
each port, and configures the path cost according to the values shown below.
