Those are the default path cost for STP :
10 Mbps --> 100
100 Mbps --> 19
1 Gbps --> 4
I have this topology :
All interfaces are set to 100Mb/s so each path cost is equal to 19. I forced the speed to 10 Mbps on the interface on S1 connected to S4 (fa0/1). However the path cost is still set 19 (100 Mbps) instead of 100 (10 Mbps).
Am I missing something ?
