Use the stp interface edged-port disable command to configure a port as a non-edge 
port in system view. 
Use the undo stp interface edged-port command to restore the port to the default 
type (that is, non-edge port) in system view. 
By default, all the switch ports are configured as non-edge ports.  
If the current Ethernet port is connected to other switches, you can use the stp 
interface edged-port disable or undo  stp  interface edged-port command to 
configure it as a non-edge port. The stp interface edged-port enable command is 
used for configuring the port as an edge port.  
A port is considered as an edge port when it is directly connected to the user terminal, 
instead of any other switches or shared network segments. The edge port will not 
cause loop upon network topology changes. Accordingly, you can configure a port as 
an edge port, so that it can transit to forwarding state fast. For this purpose, configure 
the Ethernet port directly connected to the user terminal as an edge port.  
Because the edge port is not connected to any other switches, it will not receive the 
configuration BPDUs from them.  
Related command: stp edged-port.
