spanning-tree link-type
Sets the link type of the applicable port. This command is applied to the applicable ports of
PVST+, Single Spanning Tree, and multiple-spanning-tree ports. If you want to change the
high-speed topology when
rapid-pvst or mst is set by the spanning-tree mode
command, and
rapid-pvst is set by the spanning-tree vlan mode command, the
connection between bridges must be a point-to-point connection. If you want to change the
high-speed topology when
rapid-stp is set by the spanning-tree single mode
command, the connection between bridges must be a point-to-point connection.
