7.82 Edge Port Status (Spanning Tree)
Description
The
Edge Port Status
parameter specifies whether a bridge port is an edge port. Edge ports are
directly connected to the terminal equipment and are no longer connected to any bridges. This
parameter is important in the RSTP. The status of these ports does not affect the connectivity of
the entire network, and does not cause any loops. Hence, these ports can enter the forwarding
state without any delay after the bridge starts.
Impact on the System
After this parameter is enabled, convergence time of the RSTP is reduced and thus the reliability
of the system is improved.

The following table provides the description of each value.
Value
Description
Enabled
Indicates that the edge port function is enabled. In this case,
the port can enter the forwarding state directly without any
delay during the calculation process of the state machine.
Disabled
Indicates that the edge port function is disabled.
Configuration Guidelines
The user can set this parameter according to the network topology to reduce the delay in the case
of a state migration of the network edge port.
