Spanning tree vlan root

Hi,

Need to create a new vlan on a 3750 switch and configure the vlan as the root port on an interface, do I need to configure the priority on the interface i.e spanning-tree vlan 4  port-priority 4 ? with the spanning-tree vlan 4 root as the syntax below

conf t# spanning-tree vlan 4 root
conf-if#spanning-tree vlan 4 port-priority x

Why do you need to configure the root-port?  If the 3750 is the hub of your switched network you could create the VLAN and configure spanning-tree as follows:

spanning-tree vlan 4 root primary
