Usage Guideline
Bridge Priority is one of the two parameters used to select the Root Bridge. The
other parameter is the system's MAC address.
The bridge priority value must be divisible by 4096, and a lower priority value
(number) represents a higher priority.
This configuration will take effect only when using STP version and RSTP mode.
In MSTP mode, use the command “spanning-tree mst priority” on page 871 to
configure the priority for an MSTP instance.
Example
This example shows how to configure the STP bridge priority to 4096.
Verify the settings by entering the
show spanning-tree
command
Syntax Description
PRIORITY
The bridge priority and bridge MAC Address together form the Spanning-Tree
Bridge-ID, which is an important factor in the Spanning-Tree Topology. The
range is 0 to 61440.
