Enable RPVST+
By default, RPVST+ is enabled and creates an instance only after you add the rst member port to a VLAN. Port-channel or physical
interfaces must be a member of a VLAN to participate in RPVST+. Add all physical and port-channel interfaces to the default VLAN
(VLAN1).
• Enable the Rapid-PVST+ mode in CONFIGURATION mode.

Select root bridge
RPVST+ determines the root bridge. Assign one bridge a lower priority to increase the likelihood that it becomes the root bridge. The show
spanning-tree brief
command displays information about all ports regardless of the operational status.
• Assign a number as the bridge priority or designate it as the root in CONFIGURATION mode (0 to 61440).
spanning-tree {vlan vlan-id priority priority-value}
• vlan-id — Enter a value between 1 to 4094.
• priority priority-value — Enter the priority value in increments of 4096, default is 32768. The lower the number
assigned, the more likely this bridge becomes the root bridge. The bridge priority the valid values are: 0, 4096, 8192, 12288, 16384,
20480, 24576, 28672, 32768, 36864, 40960, 45056, 49152, 53248, 57344, or 61440. All other values are rejected.
