The first step in selecting paths through a network is STP must first select the root bridge, or master bridge.
The STP network convergence consists in three steps: elect a root bridge, elect root ports and elect designated and non-designated ports. When you enable STP, the first step in its convergence process is to elect a switch to act as a root bridge using the Spanning Tree Algorithm.
