Configuring Spanning-Tree Features
To return to the default setting, use the
no spanning-tree
[
vlan

cost
interface configuration
command. For information on how to configure load sharing on trunk ports by using spanning-tree path
costs, see the
“Configuring Trunk Ports for Load Sharing” section on page 15-20
.
Configuring the Switch Priority of a VLAN
You can configure the switch priority and make it more likely that the switch will be chosen as the
root switch.
Note
Exercise care when using this command. For most situations, we recommend that you use the
spanning-tree vlan
vlan-id
root primary
and the
spanning-tree vlan
vlan-id
root secondary
global
configuration commands to modify the switch priority.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch priority of a VLAN.
This procedure is optional.
To return to the default setting, use the
no spanning-tree vlan
vlan-id
priority
global configuration
command.

Configure the switch priority of a VLAN.
•
For
vlan-id
, you can specify a single VLAN identified by
VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by a
hyphen, or a series of VLANs separated by a comma. The
range is 1 to 4094.
•
For
priority
, the range is 0 to 61440 in increments of
4096; the default is 32768. The lower the number, the
more likely the switch will be chosen as the root switch.
Valid priority values are 4096, 8192, 12288, 16384,
20480, 24576, 28672, 32768, 36864, 40960, 45056,
49152, 53248, 57344, and 61440. All other values are
rejected.
