1.2.12 Configuring the Current Port as an Edge Port
Edge ports are ports that neither directly connects to other switches nor indirectly
connects to other switches through network segments. After a port is configured as an
edge port, the rapid transition mechanism is applicable to the port. That is, when the
port changes from the blocking state to the forwarding state, it does not have to wait for
a delay.
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 1-15 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 1-16 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 protection 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 protection function at the same time. This not only
enables these ports to turn to the forwarding state rapidly but also secures your
network.
