Hi,
I'm currently studying for the ICND test, i have a question regarding STP. I understand how STP works, but can someone make it clear in my mind where the bridge's priority value comes from, that combined with the MAC address makes the bridge ID. I think really my questions from this are.
1. What makes the default value 32768?
2. Is the bridge's priority value something that should be manually set when setting up the segment?
3. What is the priority value range?
thanks,
Andy.
