Accepted Answer

This switch interface has a higher path cost to the root bridge than another in the topology.

Accepted Answer

These four parameters are examined in order to make root bridge, root port, designated port. Other switch has lowest Sending Bridge ID or Sending Port ID so vlan 2 is not the root port.
1. A lower Root Bridge ID
2. A lower path cost to the Root
3. A lower Sending Bridge ID
4. A lower Sending Port ID
