Configuring edge ports
If a port directly connects to a user terminal rather than another device or a shared LAN segment,
this port is regarded as an edge port. When network topology change occurs, an edge port will not
cause a temporary loop. Because a device does not determine whether a port is directly connected
to a terminal, you must manually configure the port as an edge port. After that, the port can rapidly
transit from the blocked state to the forwarding state.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
•
If BPDU guard is disabled, a port set as an edge port becomes a non-edge port again if it
receives a BPDU from another port. To restore the edge port, re-enable it.
•
If a port directly connects to a user terminal, configure it as an edge port and enable BPDU
guard for it. This enables the port to quickly transit to the forwarding state when ensuring
network security.
•
On a port, the loop guard feature and the edge port setting are mutually exclusive.
Configuration procedure
To configure a port as an edge port:
Step Command Remarks
1.
Enter system view.

2.
Enter Layer 2 Ethernet or
aggregate interface view.

By default, all ports are
non-edge ports.
Configuring path costs of ports
Path cost is a parameter related to the rate of a port. On a spanning tree device, a port can have
different path costs in different MSTIs. Setting appropriate path costs allows VLAN traffic flows to be
forwarded along different physical links, achieving VLAN-based load balancing.
You can have the device automatically calculate the default path cost, or you can configure the path
cost for ports.
Specifying a standard for the device to use when it calculates
the default path cost
CAUTION:
If you change the standard that the device uses to calculate the default path costs, you restore the
path costs to the default.
