Set the STP network redundancy for the switch You can set the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) network redundancy for the switch. This is also referred to as the bridge priority, which is the priority for a multiple spanning tree (MST) instance on the switch. When switches or bridges are running STP, each is assigned a priority. After exchanging bridge protocol data units (BPDUs), the switch with the lowest priority value becomes the root bridge and the other devices become backup or redundant bridges. The bridge priority is a multiple of 4096. The range is from 0 to 61440. The default is 32768. The following table shows how the network redundancy settings in the AV UI align with the bridge priority values in the main UI. Manage and monitor the switch 82 Audio Video User Manual

Set the STP network redundancy for the
switch
You can set the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) network redundancy for the switch. This
is also referred to as the bridge priority, which is the priority for a multiple spanning
tree (MST) instance on the switch.
When switches or bridges are running STP, each is assigned a priority. After exchanging
bridge protocol data units (BPDUs), the switch with the lowest priority value becomes
the root bridge and the other devices become backup or redundant bridges. The bridge
priority is a multiple of 4096. The range is from 0 to 61440. The default is 32768.
The following table shows how the network redundancy settings in the AV UI align with
the bridge priority values in the main UI.
