Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Specifies the interface to configure and enters interface
configuration mode.
Configures the link type to be either a point-to-point link or
shared link. The system reads the default value from the device
connection, as follows: half duplex links are shared and
full-duplex links are point to point. If the link type is shared,
the STP falls back to 802.1D. The default is auto, which sets
the link type based on the duplex setting of the interface.
Exits interface configuration mode.
(Optional)
Displays the STP configuration.
(Optional)
Copies the running configuration to the startup configuration.
