Modifying Interface STP Parameters
You can set the port cost and port priority values of interfaces in Layer 2 mode.
•
Port cost
— a value that is based on the interface type. The greater the port cost, the less likely the
port is selected to be a forwarding port.
•
Port priority
— influences the likelihood that a port is selected to be a forwarding port in case that
several ports have the same port cost.
The default values are listed in
To change the port cost or priority of an interface, use the following commands.
• Change the port cost of an interface.
INTERFACE mode
spanning-tree 0 cost

The range is from 0 to 65535.

• Change the port priority of an interface.
INTERFACE mode

To view the current values for interface parameters, use the

command from
EXEC privilege mode. Refer to the second example in

.
Enabling PortFast
The PortFast feature enables interfaces to begin forwarding traffic approximately 30 seconds sooner.
Interfaces forward frames by default until they receive a BPDU that indicates that they should behave
otherwise; they do not go through the Learning and Listening states. The
bpduguard shutdown-on-
violation
option causes the interface hardware to be shut down when it receives a BPDU. When you
only implement
bpduguard
, although the interface is placed in an Error Disabled state when receiving
the BPDU, the physical interface remains up and spanning-tree drops packets in the hardware after a
BPDU violation. BPDUs are dropped in the software after receiving the BPDU violation.
