Choose of the Root Bridge

[surfbum99]

Hi,

I understand that the choosing of the Root Bridge is with the bridge ID and is a combination of the bridge priority and the base MAC address.
If the priorities are the same then it the lowest MAC that wins.
But what if the priorities are different values, is it the highest of lowest priority that wins to be the root bridge?

Hi,

its the lowest priority that becomes the root bridge. If both the lowest priorities are the same, then as you mentioned its the lowest Mac.
