Command Usage
• MST priority is used in selecting the root bridge and alternate bridge of
the specified instance. The device with the highest priority (i.e., lowest
numerical value) becomes the MSTI root device. However, if all
devices have the same priority, the device with the lowest MAC address
will then become the root device.
• You can set this switch to act as the MSTI root device by specifying a
priority of 0, or as the MSTI alternate device by specifying a priority of
16384.
