Selecting STP Root
The STP determines the root bridge, but you can assign one bridge a lower priority to increase the likelihood
that it becomes the root bridge. You can also specify that a bridge is the root or the secondary root.
To change the bridge priority or specify that a bridge is the root or secondary root, use the following
command.
• Assign a number as the bridge priority or designate it as the root or secondary root.
PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE mode
bridge-priority { priority-value | primary | secondary}
•
priority-value
: the range is from 0 to 65535. The lower the number assigned, the more likely this
bridge becomes the root bridge.
The primary option specifies a bridge priority of 8192.
The secondary option specifies a bridge priority of 16384.
The default is 32768 .
Example of Viewing STP Root Information
To view only the root information, use the
show spanning-tree root
command from EXEC privilege
mode.
Dell#show spanning-tree 0 root
Root ID Priority 32768, Address 0001.e80d.2462

STP Root Guard
Use the STP root guard feature in a Layer 2 network to avoid bridging loops. In STP, the switch in the network
with the lowest priority (as determined by STP or set with the
bridge-priority
command) is selected as
the root bridge. If two switches have the same priority, the switch with the lower MAC address is selected as
the root. All other switches in the network use the root bridge as the reference used to calculate the shortest
forwarding path.
