7.82 Edge Port Status (Spanning Tree)

Description
The Edge Port Status parameter specifies whether a bridge port is an edge port. Edge ports are
directly connected to the terminal equipment and are no longer connected to any bridges. This
parameter is important in the RSTP. The status of these ports does not affect the connectivity of
the entire network, and does not cause any loops. Hence, these ports can enter the forwarding
state without any delay after the bridge starts.
Impact on the System
After this parameter is enabled, convergence time of the RSTP is reduced and thus the reliability
of the system is improved.
