Spanning-Tree Instance Interface Priority
The root port is the interface on the nonroot bridge with the lowest path cost to the root bridge. When multiple interfaces have the same path cost to the root bridge, the interface with the lowest interface priority is selected as the root port.
If the interface priority is not configured and multiple interfaces have the same path cost to the root bridge, the interface with the lowest interface identifier is selected as the root port.
If the interface priority is configured under the MSTP protocol, this becomes the default value for all interfaces. If the interface priority is configured under the MSTI interface, the value overrides the default for that interface.
If the interface priority is configured at both the VSTP global and VLAN levels, the configuration at the VLAN level overrides the global configuration.
