  Caution: 
z  In a switching network, you can configure only one root bridge for each STI and one 
or more secondary switches. Do not configure more than one root bridge for an STI 
at the same time, otherwise, the calculation result will be unpredictable. 
z  After a switch is configured as primary root bridge or secondary root bridge, user 
can’t modify the bridge priority of the switch. 
 
Example 
# Designate the current switch as the root bridge of STI 1 and specifies the diameter of 
the switching network as 4 and the Hello Time as 500 centiseconds.
