Configuring the Spanning Tree Algorithm
Point-to-Point – The link type attached to an interface can be set to
◆
automatically detect the link type, or manually configured as point-to-
point or shared medium. Transition to the forwarding state is faster for
point-to-point links than for shared media. These options are described
below:
Auto – The switch automatically determines if the interface is
■
attached to a point-to-point link or to shared medium. (This is the
default setting.)
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.
Forced True – A point-to-point connection to exactly one other
■
bridge.
Forced False – A shared connection to two or more bridges.
