Hi Louis

I think your idea with "priority 0" is the way to go. Using "set spantree
root" would not help you if someone would add a "Nortel BayStack 450
Switch" into your network, because they have a bridge priority of 8000 by
default. :-) So there can always be a bridge with a lower priority except
your switch has priority 0. (and there's none with a lower mac address ;-)

Hello group

I'm still confused about those two commands

set spantree root [vlan]
and
set spantree priority 0

Which one set the switch to the root bridge, the cco docs
doesnt clear that issue. I think its the priority command because
the root command set the root priority to 8192 instead 0.

It would be nice if somebody can clarify this issue.
TIA
Louis
