• Edge Type
Specify the type of the "Edge Port". You have the following options:
– "-"
Edge port is disabled. The port is treated as a "no Edge Port".
– Admin
Select this option when there is always an end device on this port. Otherwise a
reconfiguration of the network will be triggered each time a connection is changed.
– Auto
Select this option if you want a connected end device to be detected automatically
at this port. When the connection is established the first time, the port is treated
as a "no Edge Port".
– Admin/Auto
Select these options if you operate a combination of both on this port. When the
connection is established the first time, the port is treated as an "Edge Port".
• Edge
Shows the status of the port.
– Enabled
An end device is connected to this port.
– Disabled
There is a Spanning Tree or Rapid Spanning Tree device at this port.
With an end device, a switch can change over the port faster without taking into
account spanning tree frames. If a Spanning Tree frame is received despite this
setting, the port automatically changes to the "Disabled" setting.
• P.t.P. Type
Select the required option from the drop-down list. The selection depends on the port
that is set.
– "-"
Point to point is calculated automatically. If the port is set to half duplex, a point-
to-point link is not assumed.
– P.t.P.
Also with half duplex, a point-to-point link is assumed.
– Shared Media
Even with a full duplex connection, a point-to-point link is not assumed.
-to-point connection means a direct connection between two devices. A
shared media connection is, for example, a connection to a hub.
