Specifying the error disable timeout interval
In any mode (STP, RSTP, or MSTP), use this command to specify the time in seconds it takes for an
interface to time out.
To specify the time in seconds it takes for an interface to time out, perform the following steps from
Privileged EXEC mode:
Specifying the port-channel path cost
In any mode (STP, RSTP, or MSTP), use this command to specify the port-channel path cost. The
path cost options are:
• custom—Specifies that the path-cost changes according to the port-channel’s bandwidth.
• standard—Specifies that the path-cost does not change according to the port-channel’s
bandwidth.
To specify the port-channel path cost, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode:
Step Task Command
1. Enter global configuration mode. switch>#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per
line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#
2. Enter a mode (STP, RSTP, or MSTP). switch(config)#protocol spanning-tree
stp
3. Specify the time in seconds it takes for an
interface to time out. The range is 10 through
1000000 seconds. The default is 300
seconds. By default, the timeout feature is
disabled.
switch(conf-stp)#error-disable-timeout
interval seconds
4. Display the spanning-tree configuration. switch(conf-stp)#do show spanning-tree
Step Task Command
1. Enter global configuration mode. switch>#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per
line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#
2. Enter a mode (STP, RSTP, or MSTP). switch(config)#protocol spanning-tree
stp
3. Specify the port-channel path cost. The default
port cost is standard.
switch(conf-stp)#port-channel path-cost
{custom | standard}
4. Display the spanning-tree configuration. switch(conf-stp)#do show spanning-tree
