Additionally, bridge port point-to-point , specifies if a bridge port is connected to a bridge using a point-to-point link for faster convergence in case of failure. By setting this property to yes, you are forcing the link to be a point-to-point link, which will skip the checking mechanism, which detects and waits for BPDUs from other devices from this single link, by setting this property to no, you are implying that a link can receive BPDUs from multiple devices. By setting the property to yes, you are significantly improving (R/M)STP convergence time. In general, you should only set this property to no , if it is possible that another device can be connected between a link, this is mostly relevant to Wireless mediums and Ethernet hubs. If the Ethernet link is full-duplex, auto enables point-to-point functionality. This property has no effect when protocol-mode is set to none.
Default values
When creating a bridge or adding a port to the bridge the following are the default values that are assigned by RouterOS:
...
Start by adding each interface to a bridge, initially, you should create a (R)STP bridge without VLAN filtering enabled, this is to prevent losing access to the CPU. Each device in this example is named by the region that it is in (Rx) and a device number (_x). For larger networks configuring MSTP can be confusing because of the number of links and devices, we recommend using The Dude to monitor and design a network topology.
