Dear All,
            The task says

Configure all four switches to use the form of STP where STP options such as
UplinkFast and BackboneFast are no longer required. In addition:

- STP parameters for VLANs 1,10,20,30,40,100,200, and 300 should be dictated
by SW1. SW2

should be the secondary root. SW2, SW3, and SW4 should not be root bridge
for any VLANs.

- The primary and secondary priorities should be at their default values.

So what is the mode we are going to choose , is it rapid-pvst or mst ?

also what is the meaning of STP paramerters should be dictated by sw1 , is
it mean that sw1 should be the root ?

also how to make sw1 is the root without modifying the priority ? as i know
the command "spanning-tree vlan X root primary" modified the priority

Please Advice
