Link Cost Spanning Tree Path cost for the WDS link. The range is 0–255.
When multiple alternate paths are defined in the WDS group, the link cost is used to
indicate which links are the primary links and which links are the secondary links. The
spanning tree selects the path with the lowest link cost.
