set port point-to-point admin status
Command Mode Global Configuration.
Description Specifies whether a port is connected to a shared LAN segment or a point-
to-point LAN segment. A point-to-point LAN segment is connected to
exactly one other bridge (normally with a direct cable between them). Only
point-to-point links and edge ports can rapidly transition to forwarding
state.
If you set this field to Auto, the switch automatically detects whether the
port is connected to a shared link or a point-to-point link. Ports operating in
half duplex are set to non-point-to-point, and ports operating in full duplex
are set to point-to-point. You can, however, manually set the type of link.
