Re: Permanent Spanning-tree Root Switch Question

Do a spanning-tree vlan 20,30,40 root primary.

The reason i would do that is because there are other calculations
besides priority that can come into play. Setting the root command
will allow the switch to react dynamically to spanning-tree elections
by tuning things in its favor to become root.
