A port operates as an edge port when it is connected to a network terminal
device such as a workstation or a server. An edge port on a bridge should
not have any STP or RSTP devices connected to it either directly or
through another device connected to that port. In this configuration since
the port has no STP or RSTP devices connected to it, it will always forward
network traffic. Figure 46 illustrates a port functioning as an edge port.
