What is swMSTPMstPortPriority?

This read-write value (0-240) sets the priority field contained in the first octet of this port's 2-octet Port ID, for this specific MSTP instance. Admins lower this on a port to make it more likely to be selected as the designated or root port for that particular instance when path costs are tied.

Examples
