3Com WX3000 operation manual Point-to-point force-true, Force-false auto

You are recommended to configure the Ethernet ports connected directly to terminals as edge ports and enable the BPDU guard function at the same time. This not only enables these ports to turn to the forwarding state rapidly but also secures your network.

Configuration example

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 as an edge port.

1)Configure GigabitEthernet1/0/1 as an edge port in system view

<device> system-view

[device] stp interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1 edged-port enable

2)Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 as an edge port in Ethernet port view

<device> system-view

[device] interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1

[device-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] stp edged-port enable

Specifying Whether the Link Connected to a Port Is Point-to-point Link

A point-to-point link directly connects two devices. If the roles of the two ports at the two ends of a point-to-point link meet certain criteria, the two ports can turn to the forwarding state rapidly by exchanging synchronization packets, thus reducing the forward delay.

You can determine whether or not the link connected to a port is a point-to-point link in one of the following two ways.

Specify whether the link connected to a port is point-to-point link in system view

Follow these steps to specify whether the link connected to a port is point-to-point link in system view:

To do…	Use the command…	Remarks
Enter system view	system-view	—
Specify whether the link	stp interface interface-list	Required
connected to a port is	point-to-point { force-true	The auto keyword is adopted
point-to-point link	force-false auto }	by default.

Specify whether the link connected to a port is point-to-point link in Ethernet port view
