– Point-to-Point Operational Status — Displays the Point-to-Point
operating state.
– Active Protocol Migration Test — Check to run a Protocol Migration
test. This discovers whether the link partner using STP still exists, and
if so whether it has migrated to RSTP or MSTP. If it still exists as an
STP link, the device continues to communicate with it by using STP.
Otherwise, if it has been migrated to RSTP or MSTP, the device
communicates with it using RSTP or MSTP, respectively.
