The default is 2 seconds.

The range is from 6 to 40.
The default is 20 seconds.
The values for global PVST+ parameters are given in the output of the show spanning-tree pvst command.
Modifying Interface PVST+ Parameters
You can adjust two interface parameters (port cost and port priority) to increase or decrease the probability that a port
becomes a forwarding port.
•
Port cost — a value that is based on the interface type. The greater the port cost, the less likely the port is selected to be a
forwarding port.
•
Port priority — influences the likelihood that a port is selected to be a forwarding port in case that several ports have the
same port cost.
The following tables lists the default values for port cost by interface.
Table 65. Default Values for Port Cost
Port Cost
100-Mb/s Ethernet interfaces
1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
25-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
40-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
50-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
Port Channel with 100 Mb/s Ethernet interfaces
Port Channel with 1-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
Port Channel with 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
Port Channel with 25-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
Port Channel with 50-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
Port Channel with 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
NOTE:
The Dell Networking OS implementation of PVST+ uses IEEE 802.1s costs as the default costs. Other
implementations use IEEE 802.1w costs as the default costs. If you are using Dell Networking systems in a multi-vendor
network, verify that the costs are values you intended.
To change the port cost or port priority of an interface, use the following commands.
