Edge port is disabled. The port is treated as a "no EdgePort".
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
connection is established the first time, the port is treated as an Edge Port.
An end device is connected to this port.
There is a spanning tree or rapid spanning tree device at this port.
Even with half duplex, a point-to-point link is assumed.
Even 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 detected automatically. If the port is set to half duplex, a point-to-point
link is not assumed.
