Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe port priority is used to
affect the local switch, it is used for influencing the downstream
switche's path selection.
In this simple case:
SW1
| |
SW2
If SW1 is the root you use configure port priority on SW1 to influence
which port will be SW2's root port and which port will be blocking. If
the configuration states you must do the configuration on SW2, then
configure cost on SW2.
Also port priority is only useful when you have multiple connections
between two switches.
