(Packet Tracer) How to remove a primary root bridge from switch?

[TenTonPanda]

I used the following command to set a primary root on a switch:

"spanning-tree vlan 30 root primary"

But I absolutely do not want the root to be on that switch. I can't for the life of me find a way to remove it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

"no spanning-tree vlan 30 root primary"

it will reset the root priority to 32768.

however, the switch still may win the root election due to its MAC address. To ensure this switch does not become root, issue the same "spanning-tree vlan 30 root primary" on your desired root switch.

Or, on your desired non-root switch issue "spanning-tree vlan 30 priority %AnyPriorityGreaterThan32768%

Edit: forgot to say, make sure your in global config for the span tree cmd: Switch(config)#no spanning-tree vlan 30 root primary
