Port Migration The switch can interoperate with legacy 802.1d bridges running STP / RSTP. If the port receives a legacy 802.1D
configuration BPDU, it only sends 802.1D BPDUs over its port from that point on. Enable this option to restart
detection of whether the port is connected to an MSTP capable bridge or a legacy 802.1 bridge.
Admin Edge Port Select the checkbox to define this port as an admin edge port.
