350-401 · Question #1203
Refer to the exhibit. Which command or set of commands configures switch B as the primary root for VLANs 10, 15, and 20?
The correct answer is D. SwitchB(config)# spanning-tree mst 1 root primary. To configure Switch B as the primary root for VLANs 10, 15, and 20 in an MST environment, the command to set the root primary for the corresponding MST instance is required.

Why each option
To configure Switch B as the primary root for VLANs 10, 15, and 20 in an MST environment, the command to set the root primary for the corresponding MST instance is required.
`instance 1 vlan 10,20` is used for mapping VLANs to an MST instance, not for configuring the root bridge priority.
`spanning-tree vlan 10,20 root primary` is a command used in Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) or Rapid PVST+ (RPVST+), not Multiple Spanning Tree (MST), to set the root for individual VLANs.
`interface range g0/0/0-15` is a command to enter interface range configuration mode, which is irrelevant for configuring the root bridge priority for an MST instance.
The command `spanning-tree mst 1 root primary` configures Switch B to become the primary root bridge for MST instance 1. MST instances map multiple VLANs to a single spanning tree instance, allowing efficient management of STP for groups of VLANs. If VLANs 10, 15, and 20 are mapped to MST instance 1, this command correctly makes Switch B the root for those VLANs by setting its priority to a lower value than other switches.
