DESCRIPTION

Edge

Select this check box to configure a port as an edge port when it is

 

directly attached to a computer. An edge port changes its initial STP

 

port state from blocking state to forwarding state immediately without

 

going through listening and learning states right after the port is

 

configured as an edge port or when its link status changes.

 

Note: An edge port becomes a non-edge port as soon as it receives

 

a Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU).

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The

 

Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the

 

Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-

 

volatile memory when you are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
