Hi ALL,
This is a very popular question ever since I subscribed to the list.
0 is highest priority (most favored candidate)
61440 is lowest priority (least favored candidate)
Cisco's website to my reference on setting the spanning tree priority. http://

Now if you want to disable spanning tree don't worry about setting the spanning
tree priority. In your enable prompt just type in set spantree disable.

Strictly speaking this is only partly true.... if two switches both have
the same priority (even priority=0), then the switch with the lowest MAC
address wins the election and becomes the root-bridge.
