Configuring the root bridge or a secondary root
bridge
You can have the spanning tree protocol determine the root bridge of a spanning tree through
calculation. You can also specify a device as the root bridge or as a secondary root bridge.
A device has independent roles in different spanning trees. It can act as the root bridge in one
spanning tree and as a secondary root bridge in another. However, one device cannot be the root
bridge and a secondary root bridge in the same spanning tree.
A spanning tree can have only one root bridge. If multiple devices can be selected as the root bridge
in a spanning tree, the device with the lowest MAC address is selected.
When the root bridge of an instance fails or is shut down and no new root bridge is specified, the
following events occur:
•
If you specify only one secondary root bridge, it becomes the root bridge.
•
If you specify multiple secondary root bridges for the instance, the secondary root bridge with
the lowest MAC address is given priority.
•
If you do not specify a secondary root bridge, a new root bridge is calculated.
You can specify one root bridge for each spanning tree, regardless of the device priority settings.
Once you specify a device as the root bridge or a secondary root bridge, you cannot change its
priority.
You can configure a device as the root bridge by setting the device priority to 0. For the device priority
configuration, see
