is permitted to occur.
If a BPDU is received on the Port, then the value of operational EdgePort is set to
disabled
. Following a port initialization, or following a link-up event, operational
EdgePort is set to the value of admin EdgePort.
Hence, if a Port that has been marked as an edge-port proves not to be one (due to the
presence of another Bridge), then it will cease to behave like an edge-port until such a
time as it is reinitialized (either by a link up/down event or by reissuing the CLI
command).
NOTES
1. If a BPDU is received on a port defined as an edge port, it automatically reverts to edge-
port disabled status. After link up/down the port returns to the admin status.
2. This command replaces the rapid-spanning-tree operEdge {0|1} command which will be
supported only in upgrading versions.
Command Syntax

rapid-spanning-tree link-type
The
rapid-spanning-tree link-type
command, in Interface Configuration mode, sets the
RSTP port
link-type
administrative of the port. The
no
form of the command resets the link
type to its default value (auto).
There are two statuses of link state: operational and administrative.
1. Admin Link-Type:
Auto
From the point of view of determining the value of the link-type, the switch is considered to
be connected to a point-to-point LAN segment if any of the following conditions are true:
The ESB26 switch supports autonegotiation, and the autonegotiation function has
determined that the LAN segment is to be operated in full duplex mode.
The switch entity has been configured by management means for full duplex operation.
Otherwise, the MAC is considered to be connected to a LAN segment that is not point-to-
point (shared media).
Point-to-point
Switch is considered to be connected to a point-to-point LAN segment which forces the
operational link-type to be point-to-point.
Shared
Switch is considered to be connected to a shared media LAN segment which forces the
operational link-type to be
Shared
.
