Table 9 Selection of the optimum configuration BPDU Step 1 2 Actions Upon receiving a configuration BPDU on a port, the device compares the priority of the received configuration BPDU with that of the configuration BPDU generated by the port, and: • If the former priority is lower, the device discards the received configuration BPDU and keeps the configuration BPDU the port generated. • If the former priority is higher, the device replaces the content of the configuration BPDU generated by the port with the content of the received configuration BPDU. The device compares the configuration BPDUs of all the ports and chooses the optimum configuration BPDU. The following are the principles of configuration BPDU comparison: { The configuration BPDU with the lowest root bridge ID has the highest priority. { If configuration BPDUs have the same root bridge ID, their root path costs are compared. For example, the root path cost in a configuration BPDU plus the path cost of a receiving port is S. The configuration BPDU with the smallest S value has the highest priority. { If all configuration BPDUs have the same ports value, their designated bridge IDs, designated port IDs, and the IDs of the receiving ports are compared in sequence. The configuration BPDU that contains the smallest ID wins. A tree-shape topology forms when the root bridge, root ports, and designated ports are selected. Figure 13 describes with an example how the STP algorithm works. This example shows a simplified spanning tree calculation process.

Selection of the optimum configuration BPDU
Step
Actions
1
Upon receiving a configuration BPDU on a port, the device compares the priority of the received
configuration BPDU with that of the configuration BPDU generated by the port, and:
•
If the former priority is lower, the device discards the received configuration BPDU and keeps
the configuration BPDU the port generated.
•
If the former priority is higher, the device replaces the content of the configuration BPDU
generated by the port with the content of the received configuration BPDU.
2
The device compares the configuration BPDUs of all the ports and chooses the optimum
configuration BPDU.
The following are the principles of configuration BPDU comparison:
{
The configuration BPDU with the lowest root bridge ID has the highest priority.
{
If configuration BPDUs have the same root bridge ID, their root path costs are compared. For
example, the root path cost in a configuration BPDU plus the path cost of a receiving port is S.
The configuration BPDU with the smallest S value has the highest priority.
{
If all configuration BPDUs have the same ports value, their designated bridge IDs, designated
port IDs, and the IDs of the receiving ports are compared in sequence. The configuration BPDU
that contains the smallest ID wins.
A tree-shape topology forms when the root bridge, root ports, and designated ports are selected.
Figure 13
describes with an example how the STP algorithm works. This example shows a simplified
spanning tree calculation process.

, the priority values of Device A, Device B, and Device C are 0, 1, and 2, and the
path costs of links among the three devices are 5, 10, and 4, respectively.
