Command Usage
■Specify a point-to-point link if the interface can only be connected to exactly
one other bridge, or a shared link if it can be connected to two or more bridges.
■When automatic detection is selected, the switch derives the link type from the
duplex mode. A full-duplex interface is considered a point-to-point link, while
a half-duplex interface is assumed to be on a shared link.
■RSTP only works on point-to-point links between two bridges. If you designate
a port as a shared link, RSTP is forbidden.
