I just find out today from my lead that we are not really using the command above as part of our VLAN creation steps instead we statically set VLAN priority to 8192 for the root bridge and 16384 for the secondary root bridge.
We just try to use the Cisco macro command root primary and root secondary because our boss insisted on using it. Now we know that this command give's/set 24576 and 28372 priority value to the root and the secondary root bridge respectively.
I don't really see any problem in using the macro command or setting the priority value by your self as long as your being consistent and not mix the two command in a single setup.

STP VLAN root primary|secondary
'
I just was testing this on live network. We are trying to find out how this Cisco Macro command will be able to set the STP priority. We expect that we get a priority of 8192 for the primary root bridge and 16384 for the secondary root bridge, but after we created a new VLAN and implemented the commands on our primary core switch as the primary root and secondary core as the secondary root and we get the following setting below:
Core1:
Core1#sh run | i span
Spanning-tree vlan 999 priority 24576
Core2:
Core2#sh run | i span
Spanning-tree vlan 999 priority 28372
We really don’t know why this priority setting is deferent from the previous VLAN STP implementations done on the same core switches.
I’ll be posting the answers if I can find out the explanation behind this.
