fails, MSTP will select the secondary root bridge with the lowest MAC address as the new root
bridge.
z
Alternatively, you can also specify the current device as the root bridge by setting the priority of the
device to 0. For the device priority configuration, refer to
Configuring the Priority of the Current
Device .
Configuration example
# Specify the current device as the root bridge of MSTI 1 and a secondary root bridge of MSTI 2.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp instance 1 root primary
[Sysname] stp instance 2 root secondary
Configuring the Work Mode of an MSTP Device
MSTP and RSTP can recognize each other’s protocol packets, so they are mutually compatible.
However, STP is unable to recognize MSTP packets. For hybrid networking with legacy STP devices
and for full interoperability with RSTP-enabled devices, MSTP supports three work modes:
STP-compatible mode, RSTP mode, and MSTP mode.
z
In STP-compatible mode, all ports of the device send out STP BPDUs,
z
In RSTP mode, all ports of the device send out RSTP BPDUs. If the device detects that it is
connected with a legacy STP device, the port connecting with the legacy STP device will
automatically migrate to STP-compatible mode.
z
In MSTP mode, all ports of the device send out MSTP BPDUs. If the device detects that it is
connected with a legacy STP device, the port connecting with the legacy STP device will
automatically migrate to STP-compatible mode.

Configuring the Priority of the Current Device
The priority of a device determines whether it can be elected as the root bridge of a spanning tree. A
lower value indicates a higher priority. By setting the priority of a device to a low value, you can specify
the device as the root bridge of the spanning tree. An MSTP-enabled device can have different priorities
in different MSTIs.
