spanning-tree
link-type
This command configures the link type for Rapid Spanning Tree and Multiple
Spanning Tree. Use the
no
form to restore the default.

auto
- Automatically derived from the duplex mode setting.
point-to-point
- Point-to-point link.
shared
- Shared medium.
Default Setting

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
◆
Specify a point-to-point link if the interface can only be connected to exactly
one other bridge, or a shared link if it can be connected to two or more bridges.
◆
When automatic detection is selected, the switch derives the link type from the
duplex mode. A full-duplex interface is considered a point-to-point link, while a
half-duplex interface is assumed to be on a shared link.
◆
RSTP only works on point-to-point links between two bridges. If you designate
a port as a shared link, RSTP is forbidden. Since MSTP is an extension of RSTP,
this same restriction applies.
Example
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5
Console(config-if)#spanning-tree link-type point-to-point
