Item Description
Syntax stp
Context configure>service>vpls
configure>service>vpls>sap
Description This command enables the context to configure the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) parameters 
for the m-VPLS. Nokia’s STP is simply the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) with a few 
modifications to better suit the operational characteristics of VPLS services. The most evident 
change is to the root bridge election. Since the core network operating between Nokia’s 
service routers should not be blocked, the root path is calculated from the core perspective.
Item Description
Syntax auto-edge
no auto-edge
Context configure>service>vpls>sap>stp
Description This command configures automatic detection of the edge port characteristics of the SAP.
If auto-edge is enabled, and a BPDU is received, the OPER_EDGE variable will dynamically 
be set to true (see edge-port).
The no form of this command returns the auto-detection setting to the default value.
Default auto-edge
