Enabled
An end device is connected to this port.
–
Disabled
There is a spanning tree or rapid spanning tree device at this port.
With an end device, a switch can change over the port faster without taking into account
spanning tree frames. If a spanning tree frame is received despite this setting, the port
automatically changes to the "Disabled" setting for switches.

-to-point link is not assumed.
Note
Point-to-point link means a direct connection between two devices. A shared media
connection is, for example, a connection to a hub.
–

Point to point is determined automatically. If the port is set to half duplex, a point-to-
point link is not assumed.

Hello Time
Enter the interval after which the bridge sends configuration BPDUs. As default, 2
