Configuring Spanning Tree Port Types Globally
The spanning tree port type designation depends on the device the port is connected to, as follows:
• Edge—Edge ports are connected to Layer 2 hosts and are access ports.
• Network—Network ports are connected only to Layer 2 switches or bridges and can be either access or
• Normal—Normal ports are neither edge ports nor network ports; they are normal spanning tree ports.
You can configure the port type either globally or per interface. By default, the spanning tree port type is
