Hi group,

Can someone help me with this command ... (spanning-tree extend
system-id)

I don't understand the use of it.

What I understand is that the Spanning tree normally uses 1 MAC address
per VLAN to make a bridge ID unique.

But with this feature it now uses the extended system ID AND the switch
priority AND the spanning-tree MAC address to make the bridge ID unique
for each VLAN or multiple spanning-tree instance...

Is this correct???

Please advise me...

Thanks,
