H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 MSTP Configuration
1-32
You can configure a port as an edge port in one of the following two ways.
I. Configure a port as an edge port in system view
Table 1-21 Configure a port as an edge port in system view
Operation Command Description
Enter system view
system-view
—
Configure the specified
ports as edge ports
stp interface interface-list
edged-port enable
Required
By default, all the Ethernet
ports of a switch are
non-edge ports.
II. Configure a port as an edge port in Ethernet port view
Table 1-22 Configure a port as an edge port in Ethernet port view
Operation Command Description
Enter system view
system-view
—
Enter Ethernet port view
interface interface-type
interface-number
—
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.
 Note:
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.
III. Configuration example
# Configure Ethernet 1/0/1 as an edge port.
1) Configure Ethernet1/0/1 as an edge port in system view
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp interface Ethernet1/0/1 edged-port enable
