Configuring the Cisco Gigabit EtherSwitch EHWIC
OL-23155-01
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. interface type 0/slot/port
3. bridge-group bridge-group priority number
4. end
DETAILED STEPS
To return to the default setting, use the bridge-group bridge-group priority number command in
interface configuration mode.
Assigning a Path Cost
Each interface has a path cost associated with it. By convention, the path cost is 1000/data rate of the
attached LAN, in Mbps.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign a path cost.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. interface type 0/slot/port
3. bridge-group bridge-group path-cost cost
4. end
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Example:
Router#configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface type 0/slot/port
Example:
Router(config)#interface
gigabitethernet 0/1/2
Enters interface configuration mode, and specifies the interface to set
the priority.
Step 3
bridge-group bridge-group priority
number
Example:
Router(config-if)#bridge-group 1
priority 100
Changes the priority of an interface.
• For bridge-group, specify the bridge group number. The range is 1
to 255.
• For number, enter a number from 0 to 255. The lower the number,
the more likely that the interface on the switch will be chosen as the
root. The default is 128.
Step 4
end
Example:
Router(config-if)#end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
