Okay,, My 2 cents..
By default the STP priority is 32768,, so if you set priority under this
number like 32767 this will become root,
Set root command sets the priority at 8192 which works fine also..
You do not want to set priority at 0 in case you need to change root in the
future,

So you can use either set root or set priority command, just leave some room
for future operation.

 hi
what i know about this issue is that the two commands will do the same
function , the priority command is NOT recommended by Cisco ( i dont know
why but this is what is on the docs ) .

the root command will decrease the priority from the default value (32768 )
to 8192 which is enough to force your switch to be the root ( as long as you
keep the others switches to the default )
this will be equivalent to setting the priority command to 8192 as well.

i dont know what is the meaning of setting the priority to 0
but may be this will not allow the switch to be a root at all.
you check that and let me know :)))
