Networking::STPInstance::set_bridge_priority

Introduced : BIG-IP_v9.0
Sets the bridge priorities of the specified spanning tree instances. Each bridge in a spanning tree instance has a priority value, which controls the topoloty of the spanning tree chosen by the protocol. The bridge with the lowest priority value will become the root of the spanning tree. Priority values range from 0-61440 in steps of 4096. Hence, the supported priorities are: 0 16384 32768 49152 4096 20480 36864 53248 8192 24576 40960 57344 12288 28672 45056 61440 The default bridge priority is 61440, which will prevent BIGIP from being chosen as the root bridge. If the specified bridge priority is not one of the allowed values listed above, it is rounded down to the next lower value in the list. In STP or RSTP mode, only STP intance 0 is valid.
