Configuring the Spanning Tree Algorithm
– 80 –
during reconfiguration events, does not cause the spanning tree to
initiate reconfiguration when the interface changes state, and also
overcomes other STA-related timeout problems. However, remember
that this feature should only be enabled for ports connected to an end-
node device. (Default: Edge)
◆
Auto Edge – Controls whether automatic edge detection is enabled on
a bridge port. When enabled, the bridge can determine that a port is at
the edge of the network if no BPDU's received on the port.
(Default: Enabled)
◆
Point2Point – The link type attached to an interface can be set to
automatically detect the link type, or manually configured as point-to-
point or shared medium. Transition to the forwarding state is faster for
point-to-point links than for shared media. These options are described
below:
■
Auto – The switch automatically determines if the interface is
attached to a point-to-point link or to shared medium. (This is the
default setting.)
■
Forced True – A point-to-point connection to exactly one other
bridge.
■
Forced False – A shared connection to two or more bridges.
