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)

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.
