Figure 174 STP network

As shown in Figure 174, the priority values of Device A, Device B, and Device C are 0, 1, and 2, and the path costs of links among the three devices are 5, 10, and 4, respectively.

1.Device state initialization.

In Table 55, each configuration BPDU contains the following fields: root bridge ID, root path cost, designated bridge ID, and designated port ID.
