• The bridge priority specifies the priority value for the first two octets of the Bridge ID (eight octets 

long). The remaining six octets of the Bridge ID contain a dedicated bridge MAC address. 

• The lower the bridge priority number, the higher the priority that is associated with the bridge.

• This command is an explicit Spanning Tree command that only applies to the specified VLAN instance 

regardless of which operating mode (flat or 1x1) or protocol is active on the switch.

• If the switch is running in the flat mode when this command is used, the specified priority value is not 

active for the specified VLAN instance until the operating mode for the switch is changed to the 1x1 
mode.

• Note that when a configuration snapshot is taken of the switch, all Spanning Tree commands are saved 

in their explicit format.
