186 Dell Converged Enhanced Ethernet Command Reference53-1002115-01spanning-tree edgeport11spanning-tree edgeportEnables the edge port on an interface to allow the interface to quickly transition to the forwardingstate.Synopsis spanning-tree edgeport [bpdu-filter | bpdu-guard]Operands bpdu-filter Sets the edge port Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) filter for the port.bpdu-guard Guards the port against the reception of BPDUs.Defaults Edge port is disabled.CommandModesInterface configuration modeDescription Use this command to enable the edge port feature. This command is only for RSTP and MSTP. Usethe spanning-tree portfast command for STP.UsageGuidelinesNote the following details about edge ports and their behavior:• A port can become an edge port if no BPDU is received.• A port must become an edge port before it receives a BPDU.• When an edge port receives a BPDU, it becomes a normal spanning-tree port and is no longeran edge port.• Because ports directly connected to end stations cannot create bridging loops in the network,edge ports directly transition to the forwarding state, and skip the listening and learning statesExamples To enable a port to quickly transition to the forwarding state:switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#spanning-tree edgeportTo set the edgeport BPDU filter for the port:switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#spanning-tree edgeportswitch(conf-if-te-0/1)#spanning-tree edgeport bpdu-filterTo guard the port against reception of BPDUs:switch(conf-if-te-0/1)#spanning-tree edgeportswitch(conf-if-te-0/1)#spanning-tree edgeport bpdu-guardSee Also spanning-tree portfast bpdu-guard, spanning-tree autoedge
