8-34 User Guide for the Avaya P580 and P882 Multiservice Switches, v6.1
Chapter 8
Example See Tabl e 8-7 as an example of the recommended switch port settings for a

Cisco Catalyst 5000TM.

Admin Edge Port Specify whether this port is an edge port or a nonedge
port. An edge port is not connected to any other bridge.
Only edge ports and point-to-poi nt links can rapidly
transition to forwarding state. Options are:
• edge-port—Defines the port as an edge port.
• non-edge-port—Defines the port as a nonedge port.
If you set this field to edge-port, the Oper Edge Port
field is also set to edge-port. However, if the port receives
a BPDU, the Oper Edge Port setting changes to non-
edge-port. (To receive a BPDU, the port must be
connected to a bridge and thus is not an edge port.)
This field replaces the fast start feature in v5.x versions of
application software. When you upgrade the software
from v5.x to v6.0 or later, switch ports for which fast start
was enabled have Admin Edge Port set to edge-port.
For more information on Rapid Spanning Tree, see
Chapter 7, “Configuring Rapid Span ning Tree.”
Oper Edge Port If Admin Edge Port is set to edge-port, this field is also
set to edge-port. However, if the port receives a BPDU,
the Oper Edge Port setting changes to non-edge-port.
Auto Flush on
Link down Select enable Auto Flush for a port to mark all entries
learned on that port invalid if the link to that port fails.
You should enable Auto Flush on all P580 and P88 2 port s
that are participating in a Port Redundancy configuration
with a P330.
