Hello

I have two 3550 adn some 2950 stacks
But can not decide for which trunk ports
I must made port priority
At this moment all ports are in foewarding state
But if I made lower numeric values for
one of 3550 interfaces i understand it will
block ports with lower priority values for other 3550?
Sorry for such simple question
Thank you
 
The switch will block ports if there is a loop. If you have only one connection to each switch, it won't block the ports. Also, if you are talking about ports in an etherchannel, then they aren't individually affected.

Thank you Bad Dos ,
I have not Etherchannel.
I have connected every stack of swiches(2950 swiches) by one link to one root 3550 swich and second link to the second 3550
At this moment all ports in both are in forwarding state.
Where is there place of Vlan port priority.
All ports are trunks.
Thank you
