• Bridge Priority. When switches or bridges are running STP
, each is assigned a
priority. After exchanging BPDUs, the switch with the lowest priority value becomes
the root bridge. Specify the bridge priority value for the Common and Internal
Spanning Tree (CST). The range is from 0 to 61440. The bridge priority is a multiple
of 4096. If you specify a priority that is not a multiple of 4096, the priority is
