Does anyone know what priority # enabling this on the switch does? I have a bunch of UBNT stuff and I'm trying to enable STP but need to understand if ASUS sets the priority to 0 or something higher.

They don't set any specific value, so it's all default values.

Thanks Merlin. Do you know which field would be an equivalent Cisco priority value? I have 3 other switches downstream and I will need to adjust them to a larger value one by one off of the asus.
No idea. My knowledge of STP tells me that it prevents loops in the network. And that's all I know about STP.

got it, from my understanding you want the router to be set as a root bridge (or a value of zero for the priority), and in increments of 4096 thereafter. Thanks Merlin
