STP prioritize port priority over System-Mac-Address in my project.

Root bridge is IOU1

i executed this script on the kali machine. after it the egress port to the root transitioned to the alternative state, despite the lower mac address of the Root-bridge. CHAT said its becuase of a lower port priority, but from what i know, port priority only comes after mac address.

Well I did a little check. In stp only the root send config bpdu and changes the fields of bridge/root mac. But in rstp every sw sends config bpdu, which explains why the Mac address needs to be identical to the bridge id(the sw the made the bpdu)

Again your topolgy since there is no loop in connection (triangle or rectangle) there is no BLK.

For MAC let me summary mac 

Bpdu source :- mac address of SW 

Bpdu destiantion:- multicast of STP (this mac is different between stp modes)

Bridge -id :- is the mac of SW from where this bpdu come from 

Root -id:- this mac address of root SW

In a case of indirectional link failure, the switch can block a port even if there are no loops. Check out backbonefast

Friend check out what ?

backbone fast is feature of STP which use to stop loop 

your topology is chain of SW there is no loop

anyway 

let other help you I am little busy sorry 

goodluck
