when the switch start, it will consider it self as the root of the spanning tree. Only after it has
received superior bpdu from other switch will it consider the other switch as the root. My
conclusion, the only way to make a switch not to be a root switch ever, is to disable spanning
tree.

How do you stop a switch from becoming the root.

bpdu-guard
root-guard
bpdu-filter

Any help?
