Use one of the commands.
The default setting is 128.

Configuring the port link type
A point-to-point link directly connects two devices. If two root ports or designated ports are connected
over a point-to-point link, they can rapidly transit to the forwarding state after a proposal-agreement
handshake process.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
• You can configure the link type as point-to-point for a Layer 2 aggregate interface or a port that
operates in full duplex mode. HP recommends that you use the default setting and let the device to
automatically detect the port link type.
• The stp point-to-point force-false or stp point-to-point force-true command configured on a port in
MSTP mode is effective on all MSTIs.
• If the physical link to which the port connects is not a point-to-point link but you set it to be one, the
configuration might cause temporary loops.
Configuration procedure
To configure the link type of a port:

1. Enter system view.

3. Configure the port link
type.
stp point-to-point { auto |
force-false | force-true }
By default, the link type is auto and the port
automatically detects the link type.
Configuring the mode a port uses to recognize and send MSTP
packets
A port can receive and send MSTP packets in the following formats:
• dot1s—802.1s-compliant standard format
• legacy—Compatible format
