Configure the port as an edge 
port 
stp edged-port enable 
Required 
By default, all the Ethernet 
ports of a switch are non-edge 
ports. 
 
On a switch with BPDU guard disabled, an edge port becomes a non-edge port again once it receives a 
BPDU from another port. 
 
 
You are recommended to configure the Ethernet ports connected directly to terminals as edge ports 
and enable the BPDU guard function at the same time. This not only enables these ports to turn to the 
forwarding state rapidly but also secures your network. 
 
Configuration example 
# Configure Ethernet 1/0/1 as an edge port. 
1)  Configure Ethernet 1/0/1 as an edge port in system view 
<Sysname> system-view 
[Sysname] stp interface Ethernet 1/0/1 edged-port enable 
2)  Configure Ethernet 1/0/1 as an edge port in Ethernet port view 
<Sysname> system-view 
[Sysname] interface Ethernet 1/0/1 
[Sysname-Ethernet1/0/1] stp edged-port enable 
Setting the Link Type of a Port to P2P 
A point-to-point link directly connects two switches. If the roles of the two ports at the two ends of a 
point-to-point link meet certain criteria, the two ports can turn to the forwarding state rapidly by 
exchanging synchronization packets, thus reducing the forward delay.
