Emad,
There is a difference between the two commands but they do basically the
same thing.
"spanning-tree port-priority priority"
Sets the port priority for all vlans.
"spanning-tree vlan vlan-id port-priority priority"
Sets the port priority for only the vlan specified. You might use this to
load balance vlan traffic across ports connected to 2 different upstream
switches. By lowering the port priority for some vlans on one port and the
rest of the vlans on the other port the different vlans would choose
different root ports and you have load balancing.
So they do the same thing, the second one is just more granular.
HTH,
Joe Martin

Folks,
I'm confused with the meaning of the command
"spanning-tree port-priority priority "
and the command
"spanning-tree vlan vlan-id port-priority priority"
what is the meaning of the below one exactly , and if both are
configured , will one of them overcome the other or there aren't related
to each other?!!!
Regards
