Hello all,
If we have 4 switches connected with each other with Trunk ports.
You have access only on one switch .....how can you see Root Bridge...and its priority....
Show spanning-tree will display bridge ID .....my question is this how can you see bridge ID and Bridge Priority of other switches connected in the network while having access to only one switch.
Regards,

Hi Jun,
It is showing you the mac address of the root bridge so now it is left on you to find out that mac address belong to which switch which you can track down easily following the port numbers through mac address table.
Coming to your second doubt switch will not tell you the root id and priority of all connected switches. Just imagine how much big database switch need to maintain if it has to report you the root id and priority of all the connected switches.
It will always update you about itself and about root bridge.
