Point-to-Point Ports
To take advantage of the IEEE 802.1w features, ports on an IEEE 802.1w topology should be explicitly configured as point-to-point links using the CLI. Shared media should not be configured as point-to-point links.
Note: Configuring shared media or non-point-to-point links as point-to-point links could
lead to Layer 2 loops.
The topology in the following figure is an example of shared media that should not be configured as point-to-point links. In this figure, a port on a bridge communicates or is connected to at least two ports.
