Exercise care when using this command. For most situations, we recommend that you enter the
spanning-tree mst root primary
and the
spanning-tree mst root secondary
global configuration
commands to modify the switch priority.
Note
Procedure
Purpose
Command or Action
Enters global configuration mode.
switch#
configure terminal
Step 1
Configures a switch priority as follows:
switch(config)#
spanning-tree mst
Step 2
•
For
instance-id
, you can specify a single instance, a range of
instances separated by a hyphen, or a series of instances
separated by a comma. The range is from 1 to 4094.
instance-id priority
priority-value
•
For priority, the range is from 0 to 61440 in increments of
4096; the default is 32768. A lower number indicates that the
switch will most likely be chosen as the root bridge.
Priority values are 0, 4096, 8192, 12288, 16384, 20480, 24576,
28672, 32768, 36864, 40960, 45056, 49152, 53248, 57344, and
61440. The system rejects all other values.
This example shows how to configure the priority of the bridge to 4096 for MSTI 5:
switch#
configure terminal
switch(config)#
spanning-tree mst 5 priority 4096
Configuring the Hello Time
You can configure the interval between the generation of configuration messages by the root bridge for all
instances on the switch by changing the hello time.
Exercise care when using this command. For most situations, we recommend that you enter the
spanning-tree mst instance-id root primary
and the
spanning-tree mst instance-id root secondary
configuration commands to modify the hello time.

Step 1
Configures the hello time for all MST instances. The hello
time is the interval between the generation of configuration
