Command Usage
The path cost method is used to determine the best path between devices.
Therefore, lower values should be assigned to ports attached to faster media,
and higher values assigned to ports with slower media. Note that path cost
(page 3-123) takes precedence over port priority (page 3-125).
Example
spanning-tree transmission-limit
Use this command to configure the minimum interval between the transmission of
consecutive RSTP BPDUs. Use the no form to restore the default.
Syntax
spanning-tree transmission-limit count
no spanning-tree transmission-limit
count -The transmission limit in seconds. (Range: 1-10)

Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
This command limits the maximum transmission rate for BPDUs.
Example
spanning-tree cost
Use this command to configure the spanning tree path cost for the specified
interface. Use the no form to restore the default.
Syntax
spanning-tree cost cost
no spanning-tree cost
cost - The path cost for the port. (Range: 1-200,000,000))
The recommended range is:
• Ethernet: 200,000-20,000,000
• Fast Ethernet: 20,000-2,000,000
• Gigabit Ethernet: 2,000-200,000
