such as workstations or servers, retains the current forwarding
database to reduce the amount of frame flooding required to rebuild
address tables during reconfiguration events, does not cause the
spanning tree to initiate reconfiguration when the interface changes
state, and also overcomes other STA-related timeout problems.
However, remember that Edge Port should only be enabled for ports
connected to an end-node device. (Default: Disabled)
Migration – If at any time the switch detects STP BPDUs, including
Configuration or Topology Change Notification BPDUs, it will
automatically set the selected interface to forced STP-compatible
mode. However, you can also use the Protocol Migration button to
manually re-check the appropriate BPDU format (RSTP or
STP-compatible) to send on the selected interfaces. (Default:
Disabled)
Web – Click Spanning Tree, STA, Port Configuration or Trunk
