Spanning-Tree Instance Interface Point-to-Point Link Mode

The interface mode allows RSTP, MSTP, and VSTP to converge faster than the original STP on point-to-point links. The protocol does not need to wait for timers on point-to-point links. Configure interfaces that have a point-to-point link to another Layer 2 bridge as p2p. This parameter is ignored if the STP is configured to run the original spanning-tree version.

If the interface mode is configured at both the VSTP global and VLAN levels, the configuration at the VLAN level overrides the global configuration.
