Path Cost for Link Aggregate Ports
Physical ports that belong to a link aggregate do not participate in the Spanning Tree Algorithm. Instead,
the algorithm is applied to the aggregate logical link (virtual port) that represents a collection of physical
ports. By default, Spanning Tree is enabled on the aggregate logical link and the path cost value is set to
zero.
If a 32-bit path cost value is in use and the path_cost for a link aggregate is set to zero, the following
default values based on link speed and link aggregate size are used:
If a 16-bit path cost value is in use and the path_cost for a link aggregate is set to zero, the following
default values based on link speed and link aggregate size are used. Note that for Gigabit ports the aggre-
gate size is not applicable in this case:
To change the path cost value for a link aggregate, use the bridge slot/port path cost commands
described above, but specify a link aggregate control number instead of a slot and port. For example, the
following command sets the path cost for link aggregate 10 associated with VLAN 755 to 19:
-> bridge 755 10 path cost 19
