Don't know of a way to change the mac address other than swapping the superviso
r module out, but I would think that changing the priority would meet the requ
irements.

Tim,
Change your Supervisor! From what Manny Gonzalez found out from
numerous Cisco sources, it's almost impossible. There are some diagnostic
versions of code that support it, but probably not available to most of us.

Subject: Change the Bridge ID on a cat5k
Scouring cisco for an answer that someone mentioned.
I'm trying to change the Bridge-ID (BID) for a particular vlan on a
cat5k. I know it's possible if I just change the priorty for that
particular vlan. Is it possible to change the mac address on a vlan so
that the BID will change without change the prioty. Here's the question
that was posed "how does one change the bridge ID for VLAN 200 on a
Catalyst 5000 (os is 5.5(10)b"
Can anyone help?
Tim
