7.83 Point to Point Attributes(External Ethernet Port
Attributes)
Description
The
Point to Point Attributes (External Ethernet Port Attributes)
parameter specifies the
mode of connecting Ethernet ports to the external equipment. According to this parameter, the
spanning tree protocol (STP) decides whether to rapidly transit the port state from discarding to
forwarding.
Impact on the System
If the connection is in shared media mode and if the port is not defined as an edge port, the STP
cannot rapidly transit the port state. After the STP updates the network topology, the service
restoration time becomes longer.

Adaptive connection
The following table lists the description of each value.
Value
Description
Adaptive connection
If the port is a full-duplex port or a VCTRUNK port, and if
the port has the point-to-point attribute, the port state can be
transited rapidly.
Shared media
If the port has the non-point-to-point attribute, the port state
cannot be transited rapidly.
Link connection
If the port has the point-to-point attribute, the port state can
be transited rapidly.
Configuration Guidelines
If the port connection mode is known, select
Shared media
or
Link connection
. Otherwise,
select
Adaptive connection
.
Relationship with Other Parameters
