Re: Mind Games - MST

think the confusion is in the question (agree)

Use the port-priority command on 3560-1 to alter the path that traffic
takes on switches 3560-2, 3560-3, *ok here because we have direct links use
port priority on cat1*

and 3560-4 using interface cost. *confusion is with the* "*and" keyword -
because no direct link to cat1 from cat4 use cost to **manipulate*

Ensure 3560-1 is the root switch for all instances. *use lowest priority on
cat1 for instances 0,1 & 2*

*will try to lab it mate, as this is an empty promise!*
