ummmm this is really trivial heehe sometimes i've faced with the questions lott
sa times.

*for me*, there is one solution and one workaround:

- *The solution* is to make the switch have the "worst" possible priority that
can be configured:

set spantree priority 65535 100 (hoping any switch with lower MAC joins that VL
AN)

- The workaround for this is to disable spantree for that VLAN.

Particularly, I do not like the last one since you are not even giving the chan
ce to this bridge to participate in the STP
process; on the other hand, the statement says "never" become root ...... this
is odd and trivial, huh? hehehe

hth, and would like to hear some other comments about this.

cheers,

hockito

Subject: Root bridge question

Hi Group,
I sounds like a very trivial question, but I can't find right answer.
I'm doing commercial lab, and one of the questions is to configure the cat
5000, so it will never become root bridge for specific vlan lets say 100. As
solutions they provide command :
set spantreee priority 65535 100
I don't like this solutions. What happens if there is another switch with
the same settings?
My questions is there any other solution to this problem ?
Jan
