I agree...always enter a specific value. Yonghai, there is one thing I want to clear up after reading your posts. MAC address only comes into the root election process AFTER the bridge ID selection process. Since the default bridge ID on a Cisco switch will always be the same value, MAC addresses are the only DEFAULT value that will be unique. Once you specify a given bridge ID, the MAC address is no longer used for root election.

That will make it the root :D or even 0! Default is 32768. We always make ours 0 or 1, I never use set spantree root..
