In the determination of the Root Bridge does wire speed get added into that or is it just the 32768 and the MAC. I know in the determination of the root ports wire speed is there. Just not sure if i missed something in the reading.

Hooligan, Clearwater is alright. but than again I enjoy a few months when it is cold and snows. But if you like warm weather, water, bugs, and traffic its the place for you. hehe. but everywhere seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. it is a nice area its just that im ready to move on. I hear there are lots of jobs in the area but ive yet to get a call. guess there looking for people with a little more experience than I have. thanks to everyone for the posts. since thats all that goes into the determination what stops a 10mb connection from becoming the root bridge if all others are 100Mbs or does it not matter what the speed of the root bridge is.

You are supposed to set the root bridge manually. It is supposed to be near the center of your network, and if I remember correctly, the default STP timers are optimized for a network diameter of 7.

Strike didn't say you HAVE to set pick your root bridge. STP will pick its own if you don't but you have a bad design if you don't manually pick what you want.

Dang nothing like everyone jumping on the boat to make someone look bad on an interpretation of what they read.
