HI,
Thanks to you all for your replies.

I didnt have the 'root guard' feature in mind as a possible approach to
solving this task. It seems brilliant to me tho.

So in short, I guess I would solve this task by

1. Setting the SW1 spanning-tree switch priority to a value less than all
other switches (preferrably 0)

and to be on the safer side,

2. Enable spanning-tree root guard on all SW1 interfaces to prevent any
other switch (present and in the future) from becoming switch

Regards,

Felix
