Usage
Information On an MSTP switch, a port configured as an edge port immediately transitions to the
forwarding state. You should only configure ports connected to end-hosts as edge ports.
Consider an edge port similar to a port with spanning-tree portfast enabled.
If you do not enable
shutdown-on-violation
, BPDUs are still sent to the RPM CPU.

Usage
Information By default, FTOS implements an optimized flush mechanism for MSTP. This helps in flushing
the MAC addresses only when necessary (and less often) allowing for faster convergence
during topology changes. However, if a standards-based flush mechanism is needed, this
knob
command can be turned on to enable flushing MAC addresses after receiving every
topology change notification.
