 Find Root Bridge and alternate port (BLK).

 To Verify the STP convergence process shutdown the SW1 f0/21 port and verify with show
spanning-tree.
 Configure F0/21 port of SW1 back to normal state (no shutdown).
 Configure SW1 to be the Root Bridge for the Vlan 1 by changing the Priority value.
 Verify the STP port states changes once we change the Root bridge.
