configuration messages. Edge ports transition directly to frame forwarding without
any listening and learning delays. The MAC tables of edge ports do not need to be
flushed when topology changes occur in the STP network. Unlike an STP-disabled port,
accidentally connecting an edge port to another port in the spanning tree will result in a
