NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual configure stpd priority configure stpd priority Description Specifies the bridge priority of the STPD. Syntax Description stpd_name priority Specifies an STPD name on the switch. Specifies the bridge priority of the STPD. The range is 0 through 61,440 and is subject to the multiple of 4,096 restriction. Default The default priority is 32,768. Usage Guidelines If your STPD has the same name as another component, for example a VLAN, NETGEAR recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the name. If your STPD has a name unique only to that STPD, the keyword stpd is optional. You should not configure any STP parameters unless you have considerable knowledge and experience with STP. The default STP parameters are adequate for most networks. By changing the bridge priority of the STPD, you can make it more or less likely to become the root bridge. The range for the parameter is 0 through 61,440 and is subject to the multiple of 4,096 restriction. A setting of 0 indicates the highest priority. For example, to lower the numerical value of the priority (which gives the priority a higher precedence), you subtract 4,096 from the default priority: 32,768 - 4,096 = 28,672. If you modify the priority by a value other than 4,096, the switch rejects the entry. Example The following command sets the bridge priority of STPD1 to 16,384: configure stpd stpd1 priority 16384 configure stpd tag configure stpd tag Description Assigns an StpdID to an STPD. 768 | Chapter 17.
