3550 vlan priority problem

Hi Group,

When I set the vlan priority to 0, the priority changes to 2. If I view the
priority from another switch, the priority is also 2.

The following is the related config and show commands. I see the line
Bridge ID Priority 2 (priority 0 sys-id-ext 2)
It just like the extended system id is added to the priority.
However, you can see that I have no extended vlans.

The questions:
1.Why the priority is different from the config and how to correct it?
2.How is the sys-id-ext derived?

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Alan
