◆ Point-to-Point – The link type attached to an interface can be set to automatically detect
the link type, or manually configured as point-to- point or shared medium. Transition to the
forwarding state is faster for point-to-point links than for shared media. These options are
described below:
■ Auto – The switch automatically determines if the interface is attached to a point-to-point
link or to shared medium. (This is the default setting.)
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.
■ Forced True – A point-to-point connection to exactly one other bridge.
■ Forced False – A shared connection to two or more bridges.

To configure settings for STP/RSTP/CIST interfaces:
1. Click Configuration, Spanning Tree, CIST Ports.
2. Modify the required attributes.
3. Click Save.
MSTI Ports
Use the MSTI Ports Configuration page to configure STA attributes for interfaces in a specific
MSTI, including path cost, and port priority. You may use a different priority or path cost for
ports of the same media type to indicate the preferred path. (References to “ports” in this
section means “interfaces,” which includes both ports and trunks.)
