RSTP root bridge election

szmarcek

Hi Guys,

[FONT=MLAKEC+Times-Roman, serif]Switch A is connected to Switch B through a point-to-point link. Assume that the priority of Switch A is a smaller value than the priority of Switch B. My question is as follow:[/FONT]

[FONT=MLAKEC+Times-Roman, serif]Both switches when powered on think that they are root bridges. Do both of them send a proposal agreement that they are root switches? And because Switch A has lower priority, it will just drop the proposal received from switch B and switch B will accept proposal received from switch A and reply with agreement to switch A?[/FONT]

[FONT=MLAKEC+Times-Roman, serif]I know it is probably a simple question but I find RSTP a bit confusing. Thanks for any help
