Supermicro SSE-F3548S - 6.22 Link Type

Supermicro SSE-F3548S/SSE-F3548SR Configuration User’s Guide

To configure multiple interfaces, use
the “interface range …” command. To
provide a range use a hypen (-)
between the start and end interface
numbers.
E.g.: int range fx 0/1-10
To provide multiple interfaces or
ranges, use separate with a comma (,).
E.g.: int range fx 0/1-10, fx 0/20
Step 3
To enable the auto-edge
spanning-tree auto-edge
To disable the auto-edge
no spanning-tree auto-edge
Enables or disabled the auto edge
feature.
The default setting is the auto edge
feature enabled.
Step 4
end
Exits the configuration mode.
Step 5
show spanning-tree detail
Displays the spanning tree auto edge
information.
Step 6
write startup-config
Optional step – saves this spanning tree
configuration to be part of startup
configuration.
The example below shows how to disable the auto edge feature.
Disable the auto edge feature on ports cx 0/1 and cx 0/2
SMIS# configure terminal
SMIS(config)# interface range cx 0/1-2
SMIS(config-if)# no spanning-tree auto-edge
SMIS(config-if)# end
6.22 Link Type
Spanning tree decides the link type based on the duplex mode of the ports. It detects full duplex ports as
point-to-point links and half duplex ports as a shared LAN links.
Point-to-point links are assumed to be connected directly to another spanning tree switch, whereas
shared LAN links are assumed to be connected with multiple switches through hubs.
In point-to-point links, spanning tree negotiates with other end switches to move the ports rapidly to the
forwarding state.
Users can override the link type of ports as either point-to-point links or as shared links.
Follow the steps below to configure the link type of the ports.
