Root Bridge
The Root Bridge serves as an administrative point
for all Spanning Tree calculations to determine which
redundant links to block in order to prevent network
loops. From here, you can view all the information
regarding the Root Bridge within the STP.
All other decisions in a spanning tree network, such as
ports being blocked and ports being put in a forwarding
mode, are made regarding a root bridge. The root bridge
is the “root” of the constructed “tree” within a spanning
tree network. Thus, the root bridge is the bridge with
the lowest bridge ID in the spanning tree network.
The bridge ID includes two parts; the bridge priority (2
bytes) and the bridge MAC address (6 bytes). The 802.1d
default bridge priority is: 32768. STP devices exchange
Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) periodically. All
bridges “listen” for Hello BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data
Units) transmitted from the root bridge. If a bridge does
not get a Hello BPDU after a predefined interval (called
the Maximum Age), the bridge assumes that the link
to the root bridge is down. The bridge then initiates
negotiations with other bridges to reconfigure the
network to re-establish a valid network topology.
