A switch is configured to run STP. What term describes a field that has a default value of 32,768 and is the initial deciding factor when electing a root bridge?

The term that describes a field with a default value of 32,768 and is the initial deciding factor when electing a root bridge in a Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) environment is “bridge priority.” The bridge priority value is used to determine which switch will become the root bridge in the spanning tree topology. Switches with lower bridge priority values have a higher chance of becoming the root bridge, assuming that other factors like the bridge ID tiebreaker (MAC address) are the same.
