1.2.11 Edge Port Configuration

Edge ports are ports that neither directly connects to other switches nor indirectly
connects to other switches through network segments. After a port is configured as an
edge port, rapid transition is applicable to the port. That is, when the port changes from
blocking state to forwarding state, it does not have to wait for a delay.
You can configure a port as an edge port in the following two ways.
I. Configuration procedure (in system view)
Table 1-14 Configure a port as an edge port (in system view)
Operation
Enter system view
Configure
specified ports as
edge ports
II. Configuration procedure (in Ethernet port view)
Table 1-15 Configure a port as an edge port (in Ethernet port view)
Operation
Enter system view
Enter Ethernet port
view
Configure the port
as an edge port
On a switch with BPDU protection not enabled, an edge port becomes a non-edge port
again once it receives a BPDU from another port.
Note:
You are recommended to configure the Ethernet ports connected directly to terminals
as edge ports and enable the BPDU protection function as well. This not only enables
these ports to transit to forwarding state rapidly but also secures your network.
