3. Select an Id and click the Edit button to revise the selected MST port configuration. For more
information, see Editing a MST Port Configuration.
Protocol Migration If enabled, protocol migration enables the switch (when running
MST) to interoperate with legacy 802.1d switches. If the listed
index receives a legacy 802.1D configuration BPDU, it only sends
802.1D BPDUs over its port.
A green checkmark defines the listed index as supporting protocol
migration, and a red “X” defines the listed index as having protocol
migration disabled.
Admin Edge Port A green checkmark defines the listed index enabled as an Admin
Edge Port, and a red “X” defines the listed index as not being an
Admin Edge Port.
Oper Edge Port An oper edge port transitions MST data into a forwarding state.
Enable it only on ports that connect to a single location.
A green checkmark defines the listed index enabled as an Oper
Edge Port, and a red “X” defines the listed index as not being an
Oper Edge Port.
Admin Point-to-Point Displays the point-to-point status as ForceTrue or ForceFalse.
ForceTrue indicates this port should be treated as connected to a
point-to-point link. ForceFalse indicates this port should be treated
as having a shared connection.
Oper Point-to-Point Displays whether the listed port index is configured to connect to
another port through a point-to-point link. If enabled, the port index
becomes a designated port. The designated port negotiates a rapid
transition with the other port using a proposal-agreement
handshake for a loop-free topology. A green checkmark defines the
listed index as supporting point-to-point, and a red “X” defines the
listed index as having point-to-point disabled.
