Table 1-18 Specify whether or not the link connected to a specific port is a 
point-to-point link (in Ethernet port view)

Specify whether or 
not the link 
connected to the 
port is a 
point-to-point link 
stp point-to-point 
{  force-true | force-false | 
auto } 
Required 
The auto keyword is adopted 
by default. 
The  force-true keyword 
specifies that the link 
connected to the port is a 
point-to-point link. 
The  force-false keyword 
specifies that the link 
connected to the port is not a 
point-to-point link. 
The  auto keyword specifies 
to automatically determine 
whether or not the link 
connected to the port is a 
point-to-point link. 
 
  Note: 
Among aggregated ports, you can only configure the links of master ports as 
point-to-point links. 
If an auto-negotiating port operates in full duplex mode after negotiation, you can 
configure the link of the port as a point-to-point link. 
 
After you configure the link of a port as a point-to-point link, the configuration applies to 
all spanning tree instances. If the actual physical link of a port is not a point-to-point link 
and you forcibly configure the link as a point-to-point link, temporary loops may be 
incurred.
