Configuring Link Types

By default, all ports are broadcast links.

To configure the ports in an STPD, enter the command:.
configure stpd stpd_name ports link-type [[auto | broadcast | point-to-point] port_list | edge port_list {edge-safeguard [enable | disable] {bpdu-restrict} {recovery-timeout seconds}}]
Where the following is true:
- auto—Configures the ports as auto links. If the link is in full-duplex mode or if link aggregation is enabled on the port, an auto link behaves like a point-to-point link.
- broadcast—Configures the ports as broadcast ports. By default, all ports are broadcast links.
- point-to-point—Configures the ports for rapid reconfiguration in an RSTP or MSTP environment.
- edge—Configures the ports as edge ports. For information about edge safeguard, see Configuring Edge Safeguard.
To change the existing configuration of a port in an STPD, and return the port to factory defaults, enter the command:
unconfigure stpd stpd_name ports link-type port_list
To display detailed information about the ports in an STPD, enter the command:
show {stpd} stpd_name ports {[detail | port_list {detail}]}
