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 Port

Error Recovery setting as well.

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.
