Root Port Equal-Cost Port ID Tie Breaker

2

In this Scenario we leave the Port Priority at it’s default Value

The lowest SENDER Port ID is used to Break the Tie

Switch S4 is our Subject Switch it is receiving BPDU’s from Switch S1, thus S1 is the Sender

Since Port F0/1 has a lower number than Port F0/2 on Switch S1

Port F0/6 will become the Root Port and Port F0/5 will become the Alternate Port on Switch S4
