Figure 165. Point-to-Point Ports

If a port is operating in half-duplex mode and is not connected to any
further bridges participating in STP or RSTP, then the port is an edge port.
Figure 166 illustrates an edge port on an AT-9400 switch. The port is
connected to an Ethernet hub, which in turn is connected to a series of
Ethernet workstations. This is an edge port because it is connected to a
device operating at half-duplex mode and there are no participating STP
or RSTP devices connected to it.

Figure 166. Edge Port

A port can be both a point-to-point and an edge port at the same time. It
operates in full-duplex and has no STP or RSTP devices connected to it.
Figure 167 illustrates a port functioning as both a point-to-point and edge
port.
