Kind of a big deal

This is the MAC of the switch itself, if you meant this (?)

 

I believe you can´t see each mac of each port.

maybe it is mac address of port which is uplink port

 

i guess each port has its own mac address, but we cannot see it with normal way.

I know if you go into the switch in the Tools Tab you have the MAC forwarding table but I've never seen the MAC of an actual switchport.

we can select and decide one of the several switches as root, but after that, can we select one of the downside switch as designated switch? for example, two switch are connected to the root, i want to select second one as designated switch. if we do not know mac address of port, it would be a little hard to do that. 

Just alter the bridge priority to control this. Only if they're identical on all switches, the MAC addresses will be used:

If all switches in a single spanning tree have the same bridge priority, the switch with the lowest MAC address will become the root bridge.

@Marc is right, you can't see the inidividual MAC address of each port.

Yes it´s the switches address.

 

On Meraki switches you can´t see the MAC-addresses of the ports.

 

On "Cisco classic" switches you can see it by using this command: sh inter {interface name}
