Parameter
None
Description
Use the stp root primary command to configure the current Switch as the
primary root of a spanning tree.
Use the undo stp root command to cancel the current Switch for primary root of
a spanning tree.
By default, the Switch is not a primary root.
You can designate a primary root for the spanning tree without caring about the
priority configuration of the Switch.
CAUTION: In a switching network, you can configure no more than one primary
root for a spanning tree but you can configure one or more secondary roots for it.
Remember not to designate more than one primary root in a spanning tree;
otherwise, the switching behavior will be unpredictable.
After a Switch is configured as a primary root bridge or secondary root bridge, you
can not modify the bridge priority of the Switch.
Example
To designate the current Switch as the primary root of a spanning tree, enter the
following:
