In a typical small office environment with a hub and spoke topology where 1 ISP goes to 1 firewall that is connected to 1 "core" distribution switch with several access switches connected to it, is it best practice (or even needed?) to set the "core"/distribution switch as root for all VLANs?
My thinking is with only default routes on the access switches and no redundant paths, traffic should never be taking the long way around regardless where the root gets elected. Although for future needs my preference would be to always set the distribution switch to root in case we start adding redundant links.
