Figure 4 The STP algorithm
As shown in Figure 4, the priority values of Device A, Device B, and Device C are 0, 1, and 2,
respectively. The path costs of links among the three devices are 5, 10, and 4.
Device state initialization
In Table 3, each configuration BPDU contains the following fields: root bridge ID, root path cost,
designated bridge ID, and designated port ID.
