only way to ensure that it will NEVER become root bridge is to turn off
spanning tree for that particular vlan...setting a bridge to the highest
priority still does not ensure that it will become root bridge, take for
example that there are 2 bridges configured to be the highest priority or
if there was only 1 bridge, there is still a chance of it becoming root
