Dear Thomas,
In STP the moment you set lower priority for a switch, it becomes the
root for that stp instance, so it preempts the current root, it doesn't
wait for the current root to fail. It sends the bpdu with lower bridge
id and becomes the root. I have configured it many times to stabilize
the customer networks. Hope it clarifies your doubts.
Regards,
Brajesh Thakur

Thanks, that's what I sought!
So how do I control who becomes the STP root bridge for a STP domain ?
Make sure that switch is ALWAYS the first to come up ?
Surely this can't be a solution in real world networks ?

server goes down!

When you change the STP priority on a switch to be the lowest (most
prefered) switch does that switch automatically become the root switch
for all switches in that STP domain ? ie something like HSRP preempt ?
Or does this only count for new switches booting up ?
Thanks, Thomas
