STP root port selection is based on port priority which, by default, is based upon the interface speed. If they're equal I believe the lowest port address wins. http://www.hojmark.net/stp-port-cost.html You're talking switches right? Why post to a bridge list?

Will this configuration work perpetually? _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
