When an interface on an ArubaOS switch has the spanning tree auto-edge setting and does not receive any BPDUs, it remains in the forwarding state during topology changes. This setting is designed to help reduce the convergence time by treating the port as an edge port, which typically does not participate in spanning tree topology changes, thus allowing it to remain forwarding packets.
Spanning-tree auto-edge-port: Supports the automatic identification of edge ports. The port will look for BPDUs for 3 seconds; if there are none it begins forwarding packets.
