Abstract
A method is provided that includes configuring a first network element as a peer to a second network element. The first network element and the second network element are configured to execute a spanning-tree protocol (STP) in a network environment. The method may also include configuring a priority characteristic to be a same value for the first network element and the second network element such that both operate as root network elements for other network elements in the network environment.
