Bridge Priority provides a way to control the topology of the STP
connected network. The desired Root and Designated bridges
can be configured for a particular topology. The bridge with the
lowest priority will become root. In the event of a failure of the
root bridge, the bridge with the next lowest priority will then
become root. Designated bridges that (for redundancy purposes)
service a common LAN also use priority to determine which
bridge is active. In this way careful selection of Bridge Priorities
can establish the path of traffic flows in normal and abnormal
conditions.
