Configure the port to connect
to a point-to-point link
Only the master ports of aggregation ports can be configured to connect to
point-to-point link.
You can configure a port to connect to point-to-point link if the port operates in
auto-negotiation mode and the negotiated operation mode is full duplex.
If you configure a port to connect to a point-to-point link, the port will connect to
point-to-point links in all spanning tree instances. If the actual physical link is not a
point-to-point link, loops may temporarily appear.
