If a port works in auto-negotiationmode and the negotiation result is full duplex, this port can be configured asconnecting to a point-to-point link.z If a port is configured as connecting to a point-to-point link, the setting takes effectfor the port in all MST instances. If the physical link to which the port connects is nota point-to-point link and you force it to be a point-to-point link by configuration, theconfiguration may incur a temporary loop.II.
