6.1.3 Bridge Identifier
The Bridge Identifier consists of 8 bytes. The 2 highest-value bytes are the
priority. The default setting for the priority number is 32,768, but the
Management Administrator can change this when configuring the network.
The 6 lowest-value bytes of the bridge identifier are the bridge's MAC
address. The MAC address allows each bridge to have unique bridge
identifiers.
The bridge with the smallest number for the bridge identifier has the highest
priority.
