Usage Guidelines
•
Specifying an instance number with this command when the switch is running the 1x1 Spanning Tree
operating mode implies a VLAN ID and configures the port connection type for the associated VLAN
instance.
•
If the switch is running in the flat mode and STP or RSTP is the active protocol, enter 1 to specify the
CIST instance. If MSTP is the active protocol, however, entering 1 for the instance number is not
accepted. In this case, use the
•
Note that for Multiple Spanning Tree Instances (MSTI), the port connection type is inherited from the
CIST instance and is not a configurable parameter.
•
A port is considered connected to a point-to-point LAN segment if the port belongs to a link aggregate
of ports or if autonegotiation determines if the port should run in full duplex mode or if full duplex
mode was administratively set. Otherwise, the port is considered connected to a no point-to-point LAN
segment.

The flat mode CIST instance or an existing VLAN ID number (1–4094).
Enter the slot number for the module and the physical port number on
that module (for example, 3/1 specifies port 1 on slot 3).
Link aggregate ID number (0–31). This parameter is not available on
OmniSwitch 6850 and OmniSwitch 6855 switches.
Defines port connection type as no point-to-point link.
Defines port connection type as point-to-point link.
Specifies that switch software automatically defines connection type as
