Port Level 
Root Port 
On each bridge, the port having the lowest path cost to the root 
bridge is called the root port. 
If more than one port has the same path cost, the port with the 
smallest port identifier (port priority and assigned port ID) is the 
root port. 
Designated Port 
The port on the designated bridge connected to the LAN segment is 
called the designated port.   
On the bridge, packages are only transferred on the port that is the 
root port, and other ports are blocked. 
Port Priority 
Set in the range 0 to 255. The lower the number, the higher the 
priority level. 
Path Cost 
The port cost on a path is called the path cost, and is set as follows 
when this product is initialized.    This value is based on IEEE 
standard 802.1D, but can be changed.
