a summary of the current bridge STA information that applies to the entire switch.
Parameters
The parameters displayed are described in the preceding section, except for the
following items:
Bridge ID – A unique identifier for this bridge, consisting of the bridge priority,
the MST Instance ID 0 for the Common Spanning Tree when spanning tree type
is set to MSTP, and MAC address (where the address is taken from the switch
system).
Designated Root – The priority and MAC address of the device in the Spanning
Tree that this switch has accepted as the root device.

Spanning Tree network.

device.
