You are here: Home / spanning-tree vlan root primary

spanning-tree vlan root primary

Command

Spanning-Tree VLAN Root Primary

Use

This command sets the switch to become root for a given VLAN. It works by lowering the priority of the switch until it becomes root. Once the switch is root, it will not prevent any other switch from becoming root.

Syntax

Swith(cconfig)#spanning-tree vlan <vlan range> root primary

Example

spanning-tree vlan root primary

In the below example we will configure SW1 to become the root for VLAN 10. Currently, we see that SW1 is not root for vlan 10. Notice the priority is currently 32768

SW1(config)#do show spanning vlan 10

Now we will configure SW1 to become root for Vlan 10.

SW1(config)#spanning vlan 10 root primary

We can see that SW1 is now root for Vlan 10. Notice the priority is now 24576.

SW1(config)#do show spanning vlan 10
