Frank,

I have tested this and if you have 2 switches with 0 in the priority then 1
will become root bridge, I think MAC address is the tie breaker.

The only way to guarantee this is to turn off STP for the given VLAN

Peter,
   That is odd. I might be overstepping my knowledge level here, but I
thought if you set spantree to a priority of 0, then it could not become the
root bridge. A setting of 1 is the lowest I thought you could do for root
election, hence it would have the highest priority. If I am off base on
this, please correct me.

I am still having a problem answering this question about stp. If you want
to make a say vlan 10 to use the switch as a the root bridge. which of this

statement is correct.

set spantree priority 1 10

set spantree priority 0 10

I you donot want to use set spantree root command.

Help.
I did it with 2 cat 4000s and the switch with "set spantree priority 0 10"
command always wins, but I keep seeing documents that uses priority 1.
Example in Fatkid and even the link form cisco. Which one is correct for
cisco sake.
