Port

Global Configuration. 

Specifies whether a port is connected to a shared LAN segment or a point-
to-point LAN segment. A point-to-point LAN segment is connected to 
exactly one other bridge (normally with a direct cable between them). Only 
point-to-point links and edge ports can rapidly transition to forwarding 
state. 

If you set this field to Auto, the switch automatically detects whether the 
port is connected to a shared link or a point-to-point link. Ports operating in 
half duplex are set to non-point-to-point, and ports operating in full duplex 
are set to point-to-point. You can, however, manually set the type of link. 

set port point-to-point admin status {<mod-num> | <mod-swport-range>}
[...,{<mod-num> | <mod-swport-range>}] {force-true | force-false | auto} 

P580 and P882.

The module and port or port range.

force-true

Defines the port as connected to a point-to-point link. 

force-false

Defines the port as connected to a shared LAN segment. 

auto

Automatically detects whether the port is connected to a 
shared link or a point-to-point link. Ports operating in half 
duplex are set to non-point-to-point, and ports operating 
in full duplex are set to point-to-point

If you select this setting, the OperPointToPoint field of 
the show port command displays the link type that is 
detected.
