Admin Edge Port – You can enable this option if an interface is 
attached to a LAN segment that is at the end of a bridged LAN or to 
an end node. Since end nodes cannot cause forwarding loops, they can 
pass directly through to the spanning tree forwarding state. Specifying 
Edge Ports provides quicker convergence for devices such as 
workstations or servers, retains the current forwarding database to 
reduce the amount of frame flooding required to rebuild address tables 
during reconfiguration events, does not cause the spanning tree to 
reconfigure when the interface changes state, and also overcomes 
other STA-related timeout problems. However, remember that Edge 
Port should only be enabled for ports connected to an end-node 
device.

Admin Link Type – The link type attached to this interface.
- Point-to-Point – A connection to exactly one other bridge.
- Shared – A connection to two or more bridges.
- Auto – The switch automatically determines if the interface is 

attached to a point-to-point link or to shared media.
