single path between any two end stations. The
Spanning Tree Mode also provides high fault
tolerance. The possible states are:
• Enable - Enables the Spanning Tree
Mode.
• Disable - Disables the Spanning Tree
Mode.
For more information refer to Spanning Tree
Algorithm (STA) in The Reference Guide.

parameter. Possible states include:
• TRUE - This port is assumed to be an
edge port.
