STP PORT port FORCE MIGRATION
Forces a port to do a STP  RSTP migration check. Possible values for port
are * (all ports), ETH1 .. ETH4 and DSL1 .. DSL4.
The migration check forces the port to transmit only RSTP BPDUs for some time,
to test whether all legacy STP Bridges on the attached LAN segment have been
removed and the Port can continue to transmit RSTP BPDUs.
STP PORT port EDGE ON | OFF
Configures a port as edge port i. e. a port that has no other bridged attached to
it. Possible values for port are * (all ports), ETH1 .. ETH4 and DSL1 .. DSL4.
Edge Ports transition directly to the Forwarding state, since there is no possibility
of it participating in a loop.
Note that configuring a non-edge port as edge port might create loops in the
network. Any port configured as edge port will automatically revert to non-edge
configuration if a BPDU is received on this port.
STP PORT port PTP ON | OFF | AUTO
Configures a port-as-point to point port i. e. a port not connected to a shared
LAN segment. Possible values for port are * (all ports), ETH1 .. ETH4 and
DSL1 .. DSL4.
OFF
The port is configured as non point-to-point. It will transition into For-
warding state after expiry 2 x the Forwarding Delay
ON
The port is configured as point-to-point and will transition rapidly into
Forwarding state.
AUTO
The port will be configured as point-to-point on full-duplex links and as
non point-to-point on half duplex links. This setting should only be
used if all bridges participating in a network support the spanning tree
protocol.
Note that configuring a non point-to-point port as point-to-point might create
loops in the network.
