Configuring Fallback Bridging
Changing the VLAN-Bridge Spanning-Tree Priority
You can globally configure the VLAN-bridge spanning-tree priority of a switch when it ties with another
switch for the position as the root switch. You also can configure the likelihood that the switch will be
selected as the root switch.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the switch priority. This procedure is
optional.
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
bridge bridge-group priority number
Step 3
end
Step 4
show running-config
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
To return to the default setting, use the no bridge bridge-group priority global configuration command.
To change the priority on a port, use the bridge-group priority interface configuration command
(described in the next section).
This example shows how to set the switch priority to 100 for bridge group 10:
Switch(config)# bridge 10 priority 100
Changing the Interface Priority
You can change the priority for a port. When two switches tie for position as the root switch, you
configure a port priority to break the tie. The switch with the lowest interface value is elected.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the interface priority. This procedure
is optional.
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
