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

spanning-tree vlan root secondary

Command

Spanning-Tree VLAN Root Secondary

Use

This command sets the switch to become backup root for a given VLAN. It works by lowering the priority of the switch until it becomes one priority higher then the root, so it will take over if the root fails. Once the switch is root it will not prevent any other switch from becoming root.

Syntax

Switch(config)#ispanning-tree vlan <vlan range> root secondary

Example

spanning-tree vlan root secondary

In the below example we will configure SW2 to become the backup root for VLAN 10. Currently, we see that SW2 is not root for VLAN 10. Notice the priority is currently 24576

SW1(config)#do show spanning vlan 10

Now we will configure SW2 to become the backup root for VLAN 10.

SW2(config)#spanning vlan 10 root secondary

We can see that SW2 is now has a priority of 28672.

SW2(config)#do show spanning vlan 10
