administrator to prevent bridges external to a core region of the network, causing
address flushing in that region, possibly because those bridges are not under the
full control of the administrator or the physical link state of the attached LANs
transits frequently.
BPDU Guard
If enabled, causes the port to disable itself upon receiving valid BPDU's. Contrary
to the similar bridge setting, the port Edge status does not effect this setting.
A port entering error-disabled state due to this setting is subject to the bridge
Controls whether the port connects to a point-to-point LAN rather than a shared
medium. This can be automatically determined, or forced either true or false. A
transition to the forwarding state is faster for point-to-point LANs than for shared
media. All means all ports will have one specific setting.

By default, the system automatically detects the speed and duplex mode used on each port, and configures the path cost
according to the values shown below. Path cost “0” is used to indicate auto-configuration mode. When the short path cost
method is selected and the default path cost recommended by the IEEE 802.1w standard exceeds 65,535, the default is set to
65,535.
