Distributed Spanning Tree Commands
OmniSwitch 6250 CLI Reference Guide November 2009 page 16-87
bridge slot/port connection
Configures the connection type for a port or an aggregate of ports for the flat mode Common and Internal
Spanning Tree (CIST) instance or a 1x1 mode VLAN instance.
bridge instance {slot/port | logical_port} connection {noptp | ptp | autoptp | edgeport}
Syntax Definitions
instance The flat mode CIST instance or an existing VLAN ID number (1–4094).
slot/port Enter the slot number for the module and the physical port number on
that module (e.g., 3/1 specifies port 1 on slot 3).
logical_port Link aggregate ID number (0–31).
noptp Defines port connection type as no point to point link.
ptp Defines port connection type as point to point link.
autoptp Specifies that switch software will automatically define connection type
as point to point or no point to point.
edgeport This parameter is currently not supported. Use the bridge cist slot/port
admin-edge or bridge cist slot/port auto-edge command to configure
edge port status.
Defaults
By default the link connection type is set to auto point to point.
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6250
Usage Guidelines
• Specifying an instance number with this command when the switch is running the 1x1 Spanning Tree
operating mode implies a VLAN ID and configures the port connection type for the associated VLAN
instance.
• If the switch is running in the flat mode and STP or RSTP is the active protocol, enter 1 to specify the
CIST instance. If MSTP is the active protocol, however, entering 1 for the instance number is not
accepted. In this case, use the bridge cist slot/port connection command instead.
• Note that for Multiple Spanning Tree Instances (MSTI), the port connection type is inherited from the
CIST instance and is not a configurable parameter.
• A port is considered connected to a point to point LAN segment if the port belongs to a link aggregate
of ports or if autonegotiation determines if the port should run in full duplex mode or if full duplex
mode was administratively set. Otherwise, the port is considered connected to a no point to point LAN
segment.
