6. AdminEdge :
Controls whether the operEdge flag should start as set or cleared. (The initial
operEdge state when a port is initialized).
7. AutoEdge :
Controls whether the bridge should enable automatic edge detection on the bridge
port. This allows
operEdge to be derived from whether BPDU's are received on
the port or not.
8. Restricted Role :
If enabled, causes the port not to be selected as Root Port for the CIST or any
MSTI, even if it has the best spanning tree priority vector. Such a port will be
selected as an Alternate Port after the Root Port has been selected. If set, it can
cause lack of spanning tree connectivity. It can be set by a network administrator
to prevent bridges external to a core region of the network influence the spanning
tree active topology, possibly because those bridges are not under the full control
of the administrator. This feature is also known as
Root Guard .
9. Restricted TCN :
If enabled, causes the port not to propagate received topology change
notifications and topology changes to other ports. If set it can cause temporary
loss of connectivity after changes in a spanning tree's active topology as a result
of persistently incorrect learned station location information. It is set by a network
administrator to prevent bridges external to a core region of the network, causing
address flushing in that region, possibly because those bridges are not under the
full control of the administrator or the physical link state of the attached LANs
transits frequently.
10. BPDU Guard :
If enabled, causes the port to disable itself upon receiving valid BPDU's. Contrary
to the similar bridge setting, the port
Edge status does not effect this setting.
A port entering error-disabled state due to this setting is subject to the bridge Port
Error Recovery setting as well.
11. Point-to-Point :
Controls whether the port connects to a point-to-point LAN rather than to a shared
medium. This can be automatically determined, or forced either true or false.
Transition to the forwarding state is faster for point-to-point LANs than for shared
media.

4.8.5. MSTI Ports
The section describes it allows the user to inspect the current STP MSTI port configurations,
and possibly change them as well.
