It's worth noting that in the Cat3550 documentation, Cisco repeatedly states
that using the "primary" keyword is the recommended way to set root. I have
to default to that statement, although the priority 0 is obviously a valid
choice as well, this is a new lab with the Cat3550's and I'll default to the
documentation recommendations unless otherwise stated.

It should also be noted that after you do DLSW, make sure that you go back
to check your spanning tree work earlier. DLSW can change what you thought
you had in place earlier with STP if you didn't hardcode everything.

I would recommend priority 0. The rule of thumb is, hard code everything
whenever possible. This goes for router-ids, pvcs and anything else you
can think of.

RE: Root switch

Hi Phong,

I personally would use "spanning-tree vlan 11 root primary" as long as you
"fully" meet the requirement that is the main objective. Normally the clue
is in the question.

Thanks

David

Hi Group,

If the question asks me to configure the switch as root switch for vlan
11, which of the below commands should be used?
- spanning-tree vlan 11 priority 0
- spanning-tree vlan 11 root primary
Both of them will work well but which one do you prefer?
Thanks
Phong
