Sumit,

Which parameter you change depends on which switch you're making the change.

The port priority is sent by the upstream switch (root) to the downstream
switch so changing this value on the downstream switch wouldn't do any good.

Likewise, changing cost on the upstream switch wouldn't affect the selection
of which port the downstream switch decides is the root port.

Make sure you know this stuff. It's very important.

HTH, Tim

Mates,

As I understand the "Spanning tree port cost " manipulation should be able
to make vlan traffic prefer a trunk port over another one.
Is there any case we need to change "port-priority" unless changing port
cost is restricted?

thanks
Sumit
