| 3.8.5 |  | Configuring MST switch priority |

The switch priority can be configured to make it more likely that the switch will be chosen as the root switch. Exercise care when using this command. For most situations, it is recommended to use the spanning-tree mst instance-id root primary and the spanning-tree mst instance-id root secondary global configuration commands to modify the switch priority.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow the steps outlined in Figure to configure the switch priority.

To return the switch to its default setting, use the no spanning-tree mst instance-id priority global configuration command.
