So if I have several switches and I want switch A to be the root of VLAN 5 would the command "set spantree 5" on switch A make it the root. What if switch Z is added to the network, is there a chance that this switch under the right circumstances will become the root. I guess what I am trying to ask is how can I make sure that switch A will always stay the root bridge for VLAN 5.
Also related to above, once I run "set spantree root 5" will spanning tree protocol re-initialize and all the ports will go thru the different states of spanning tree. I am worried about all the servers and workstations that are connected to this switch. Will I need to reboot them. I hope I don't sound confusing, I am just trying to find the best way to do this at work.
