No and it's for instance recommended to be deployed where you have customer
facing ports. You have a 6513 with lots of ports connected to customers'
networks )this may or may not be THE root). They might (i'd say may!) make
troubles by lowering their priority and injecting superior BPDUs into your
L2 infra. Enabling Root guard in cases like this simply means I don't want
to see a root bridge connected to this point of my network.

Take your time and think through this semi-IE question, ensure SW4948-Z is
your root bridge. You can not change the priority value on any of your
switches :)
