unconfigure stpd ports link-type
ExtremeWare XOS 10.1 Command Reference Guide 407
unconfigure stpd ports link-type
unconfigure stpd <stpd_name> ports link-type <port_list>
Description
Returns the specified port to the factory default setting of broadcast link.
Syntax Description
Default
All ports are broadcast link types.
Usage Guidelines
After you have created the STPD with a unique name, the keyword stpd is optional.
The default, broadcast link, supports legacy STP (802.1d) configurations.
You can also use this command to change the existing link type of the ports of an STPD. If you
configure a port to be an edge port, the port immediately enters the forwarding state. Edge ports remain
in the forwarding state unless the port receives a BPDU.
RSTP does not send any BPDUs from an edge port, nor does it generate topology change events when
an edge port changes its state.
RSTP rapidly moves the designated ports of a point-to-point link type into the forwarding state. This
behavior is supported by RSTP only.
An auto link behaves like a point-to-point link if the link is in full duplex mode or if link aggregation is
enabled on the port; otherwise, an auto link behaves like a broadcast link. If a non-STP switch exists
between several switches operating in 802.1w mode with auto links, the non-STP switch may negotiate
full duplex even though the broadcast domain extends over several STP devices. In this situation, an
802.1w port may advance to the “forwarding” state more quickly than desired.
If the switch operates in 802.1d mode, any configured port link type will behave the same as the
broadcast link type.
Example
The following command configures slot 2, ports 1 through 4 to return to the factory default of broadcast
links in STPD s1:
unconfigure stpd s1 ports link-type 2:1-2:4
stpd_name Specifies an STPD name on the switch.
port_list Specifies one or more slots and ports. May be in the form 2:*, 2:5, 2:6-2:8.
