Setting a root bridge when using MST

ngthen
Level 1
Level 1

I am running MST on my network with 1 instance right now but will soon be 2.  If I issue the show spanning-tree command here is what I see:

MIB-SW-CORE-01#show spanning-tree

Is there a reason that my CORE switch is not showing up as the root even through I have the following?


spanning-tree mode mst
spanning-tree logging
spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default
spanning-tree extend system-id
!
spanning-tree mst configuration
name mib-mstp
revision 1
instance 1 vlan 1, 8, 13-14, 17, 151-152
!
spanning-tree vlan 1,8,13-14,17,151-152 priority 8192

Hi,

spanning-tree vlan 1,8,13-14,17,151-152 priority 8192

This is not for MST.

The correct syntax is span mst 1 priority 8192

Regards.

Alain.
