Bridge Priority Bridge priority is used in determining the root switch, root port and designated
port. The switch with the highest priority (lowest numeric value) becomes the
STP root switch. If all switches have the same priority, the switch with the lowest
MAC address will then become the root switch. The allowed range is 0 to
61440.
The lower the numeric value you assign, the higher the priority for this bridge.
Bridge Priority determines the root bridge, which in turn determines Hello Time,
Max Age and Forwarding Delay.
