Defining Edge Port Status

By default, edge port status is disabled on all ports. When enabled, this indicates that a port is on the edge of a bridged LAN. You can use the following commands to review and, if necessary, change the edge port detection status on the device and the edge port status of Spanning Tree ports.

Review and define edge port status as follows:

1. Display the status of edge port detection:

   show spantree autoedge

2. If desired, enable edge port detection:

   set spantree autoedge enable

3. Display the edge port operating status of one or more port(s):

   show spantree operedge [port port-string]

   A status of “true” or “Edge-Port” indicates the port is operating as an edge port.

   A status of “false” or “Non-Edge-Port” indicates it is not.

   If port-string is not specified, edge port status will be displayed for all Spanning Tree ports.

4. Display the edge port administrative status of one or more port(s):

   show spantree adminedge [port port-string]

   A status of “true” or “Edge-Port” indicates the port is administratively set to be considered an edge port.

   A status of “false” or “Non-Edge-Port” indicates the port is administratively set to be considered a non edge port.

   If port-string is not specified, edge port administrative status will be displayed for all Spanning Tree ports.

5. If necessary, change the edge port administrative status of one or more port(s):

   set spantree adminedge port-string true
