The MAC address used by the bridge must be referred to in a unique fashion; moreover, it should be the smallest MAC address (numerically) of all ports that belong to the bridge. However it is only required to be unique when integrated with dot1dStpPriority. A unique BridgeIdentifier is formed that is used in the spanning tree protocol.
