Select this option when there is always an end device on this port. Otherwise a
reconfiguration of the network will be triggered each time a connection is changed.
Select this option if you want a connected end device to be detected automatically at
this port. When the connection is established the first time, the port is treated as a "no
Edge Port".
Select these options if you operate a combination of both on this port. When the

A n end device is connected to this port.
There is a spanning tree or rapid spanning tree device at this port.
E ven with half duplex, a point-to-point link is assumed.
E ven with a full duplex connection, a point-to-point link is not assumed.
Note
Point-to-point link means a direct connection between two devices. A shared media
connection is, for example, a connection to a hub.
Point to point is calculated automatically. If the port is set to half duplex, a point-to-
point link is not assumed.
