On an STP network, parameters used for role election, such as the root bridge ID,...

In STP (Spanning Tree Protocol), Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) contain critical information used in the election and role assignment process, including:

Root Bridge ID – Identifies the current root bridge.

Root Path Cost – Total path cost to reach the root.

Bridge ID – Unique identifier for each switch. These fields are used to determine port roles (root, designated, etc.) and to elect the root bridge.

Reference from Huawei HCIP-Datacom-Core Technology Study Guide:

“BPDUs carry the root bridge ID, root path cost, sender’s bridge ID, and port ID. These are used in root bridge election and port role determination.”
