instance.
Example: On the port1/2, set the port cost is 3000000.
Switch(Config-If-Ethernet1/2)#spanning-tree cost 3000000
17.1.10 spanning-tree digest-snooping
Command: spanning-tree digest-snooping
no spanning-tree digest-snooping
Function: Configure the port to use the authentication string of partner port; the
command “no spanning-tree digest-snooping” restores to use the port generated
authentication string.
Parameter: None
Command mode: Port Mode
Default: Don’t use the authentication string of partner port.
Usage Guide: According to MSTP protocol, the region authentication string is generated
by MD5 algorithm with public authentication key, intstance ID, VLAN ID. Some

the command is executed the port can use the authentication string of partner port,
realize compatibility with these manufactories equipment.
Note: Because the authentication string is related to instance ID and VLAN ID, the
command may cause recognizing the equipment that with different instance and VLAN
relation as in the same region. Before the command is executed, make sure that
instance and VLAN relation is accord for all the equipment. If there are more than one
equipment connected, all the connected ports should execute this command.
Example: Configure the authentication string of partner port.
Switch(config)#interface ethernet 1/2
