from EXEC privilege mode.
Enabling SNMP Traps for Root Elections and Topology

Influencing RSTP Root Selection
RSTP determines the root bridge, but you can assign one bridge a lower priority to increase the likelihood
that it is selected as the root bridge.
To change the bridge priority, use the following command.
• Assign a number as the bridge priority or designate it as the primary or secondary root.
PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE RSTP mode
bridge-priority
priority-value
–
priority-value
The range is from 0 to 65535. The lower the number assigned, the more likely
this bridge becomes the root bridge.
The default is
32768
. Entries must be multiples of 4096.
Example of the bridge-priority Command
A console message appears when a new root bridge has been assigned. The following example example
shows the console message after the
bridge-priority
command is used to make R2 the root bridge
(shown in bold).
Dell(conf-rstp)#bridge-priority 4096
04:27:59: %RPM0-P:RP2 %SPANMGR-5-STP_ROOT_CHANGE: RSTP root changed. My Bridge
ID:
4096:0001.e80b.88bd
Old Root: 32768:0001.e801.cbb4 New Root: 4096:0001.e80b.88bd
Configuring an EdgePort
The EdgePort feature enables interfaces to begin forwarding traffic approximately 30 seconds sooner.
In this mode an interface forwards frames by default until it receives a BPDU that indicates that it should
behave otherwise; it does not go through the Learning and Listening states. The
bpduguard shutdown-
on-violation
option causes the interface hardware to be shut down when it receives a BPDU. When
only
bpduguard
is implemented, although the interface is placed in an Error Disabled state when
receiving the BPDU, the physical interface remains up and spanning-tree drops packets in the hardware
after a BPDU violation. BPDUs are dropped in the software after receiving the BPDU violation. This feature
is the same as PortFast mode in Spanning Tree.
CAUTION: Configure EdgePort only on links connecting to an end station. If you enable EdgePort
on an interface connected to a network, it can cause loops.
