this switch to become the root for the specified instance. If any root switch for the specified instance has

a switch priority lower than 24576, the switch sets its own priority to 4096 less than the lowest switch

priority. (4096 is the value of the least-significant bit of a 4-bit switch priority value.)

When you enter the spanning-tree mst instance-id root secondary command, because of support for

the extended system ID, the software changes the switch priority from the default value (32768) to

28672. If the root switch fails, this switch becomes the next root switch (if the other switches in the

network use the default switch priority of 32768 and are therefore unlikely to become the root switch).

This example shows how to configure the switch as the root switch for instance 10 with a network

diameter of 4:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree mst 10 root primary diameter 4

This example shows how to configure the switch as the secondary root switch for instance 10 with a

network diameter of 4:

Switch(config)# spanning-tree mst 10 root secondary diameter 4

You can verify your settings by entering the show spanning-tree mst instance-id privileged EXEC
