acting as an edge port (overrides global
setting)

Command Syntax

no spanning-tree edgeport default
spanning-tree edgeport enable
spanning-tree edgeport disable
spanning-tree edgeport
no spanning-tree edgeport
This global configuration mode command defines all interfaces assigned to a
bridge group as edge ports:
Syntax: spanning-tree edgeport default
The default setting is no spanning-tree edgeport default. In the default
setting, interfaces do not act as edge ports. Generally, you should leave this
global setting and simply override it for the interface that connects to the end
device.
The command to enable an Ethernet interface to act as an edge port is slightly
different from the command to enable Frame Relay or ATM subinterfaces to
act as edge ports.
To override the global setting for Ethernet interfaces, move to the Ethernet
configuration mode context and enter:
Syntax: spanning-tree edgeport [enable | disable]
Enter the command with the enable option to allow the interface to act as an
edge port. If you have configured a global setting that defines all interfaces as
edge ports, the disable option overrides this setting.
