Define the desired Switch as the root Switch by assigning it the lowest pri-
ority in the bridge information among all the Switches in the network, in
the “Protocol Configuration/Information” frame. Note that only multiples of
4096 can be entered for this value (see table 33).
In the “Root Information” frame, the dialog shows this device as the root.
A root switch has no root port and no root costs.
Figure 65: Assigning a priority. Display: Root Information
As required, you change the default priority value of 32768 in other
Switches in the network in the same way to the value you want (multiple
of 4096).
For each of these Switches, check the display
in the “Root Information” frame:
– Root-Id: Displays the bridge identifier of the root Switch
– Root Port: Displays the port that leads to the root Switch
– Root Cost: Displays the root costs to the root Switch
in the “Protocol Configuration/Information” frame:
– Priority: Displays the priority in the bridge identifier for this Switch
