https://supportportal.juniper.net/s/article/EX-Identify-the-Root-Bridge-in-a-Spanning-Tree-STP-network?language=en_US The root bridge in a spanning-tree network is the bridge with the smallest or the lowest bridge ID.
In the absence of a manually configured priority, the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) elects the root bridge based on the lowest bridge ID, which is a combination of the priority and the MAC address. The device with the lowest MAC address will have the lowest bridge ID and thus be elected as the root bridge.
