1.3.12 Configuring the Current Port as an Edge Port

Edge ports are ports that neither directly connects to other switches nor indirectly
connects to other switches through network segments. After a port is configured as an
edge port, the rapid transition mechanism is applicable to the port. That is, when the
port changes from the blocking state to the forwarding state, it does not have to wait for
a delay.
You can configure a port as an edge port in one of the following two ways.
I. Configure a port as an edge port in system view
Follow these steps to configure a port as an edge port in system view:
Enter system view
Configure the specified
ports as edge ports
II. Configure a port as an edge port in Ethernet port view
Follow these steps to configure a port as an edge port in Ethernet port view:
Enter system view
Enter Ethernet port view
Configure the port as an
edge port
On a switch with BPDU guard disabled, an edge port becomes a non-edge port again
once it receives a BPDU from another port.
