Admin Edge Port:

If user selects “Yes”, this port will be an edge port. An Edge Port is a port

connected to a device that knows nothing about STP or RSTP. Usually,

the connected device is an end station. Edge Ports will immediately

transit to forwarding state. User can select “Yes” or “No”. Default: No

Admin Point To Point:

We say a port is on a point-to-point link if the port is in full-duplex mode.

RSTP fast convergence can only happen on a point-to-point link. To

determine if this port is on a point-to-point link is by auto-detecting the

port’s duplex mode if the parameter is set to “Auto”. If the parameter is

set “True”, the port is unconditionally considered to be on a point-to-point

link. If the parameter is set to “False”, fast transition to Forwarding state

will not happen on this port. User can select “Auto”, “True” or “False”.

Default: Auto

M Check:

Migration Check. It forces the port sending out an RSTP BPDU instead

of a legacy STP BPDU at the next transmission. The only benefit of this

operation is to make the port quickly get back to act as an RSTP port.

Click <M Check> button to send a RSTP BPDU from the port you

specified.
