Admin Edge Port
– You can enable this option if an interface
is attached to a LAN segment that is at the end of a bridged LAN
or to an end node. Since end nodes cannot cause forwarding
loops, they can pass directly through to the spanning tree
forwarding state. Specifying Edge Ports provides quicker
convergence for devices such as workstations or servers,
retains the current forwarding database to reduce the amount
of frame flooding required to rebuild address tables during
reconfiguration events, does not cause the spanning tree to
reconfigure when the interface changes state, and also
overcomes other STA-related timeout problems. However,
remember that Edge Port should only be enabled for ports
connected to an end-node device.
