Multiple Spanning Tree. Use the no form to restore the default.
SYNTAX
spanning-tree link-type {auto | point-to-point | shared}
no spanning-tree link-type
auto - Automatically derived from the duplex mode setting.
point-to-point - Point-to-point link.
shared - Shared medium.
DEFAULT SETTING
auto
COMMAND MODE
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.
