Configuring the MST Bridge ID Priority
You can set the bridge ID priority for an MST instance when the switch is in MST mode.
The bridge priority value is combined with the system ID extension (the ID of the MST instance) to
create the bridge ID priority. You can set 16 possible bridge priority values: 0, 4096, 8192, 12288, 16384,
20480, 24576, 28672, 32768, 36864, 40960, 45056, 49152, 53248, 57344, and 61440.
To configure the bridge ID priority for an MST instance, perform this task in privileged mode:
The example shows how to configure the bridge ID priority for an MST instance:
Console> (enable) set spantree priority 8192 mst 3
set spantree priority 8192 mst 3
MST instance 3 bridge ID priority set to 8195
(bridge priority: 8192 + sys ID extension: 3)
Task Command
Step 1
Configure the bridge ID priority for an
MST instance.
set spantree priority bridge_priority mst [instance]
Step 2
Verify the bridge ID priority. show spantree mst [instance | mod/port]
