We have two switches connected to each other via AirFiber 5x HD. Should we configure the spanning-tree link type as point-to-point on the ports with the AirFiber connection?

Hello @IrfanKhan4904
Yes, you should configure the spanning-tree link type as point-to-point on the ports connected via the AirFiber 5X HD if the connection behaves like a full-duplex link.
In RSTP or enhanced versions like MST, the link type helps the protocol decide how to handle transitions and convergence. The point-to-point link type is typically used for full-duplex links, such as those between switches. It helps speed up convergence by assuming that only two devices (the switches) are directly connected, allowing for faster transitions in the topology.
Since AirFiber links usually operate in full-duplex mode (if configured that way), it would make sense to treat them as point-to-point links for spanning tree purposes.
To configure this, you can use the following command on the switch interfaces connected to the AirFiber link:
If the AirFiber link is half-duplex (though uncommon in modern configurations), you should avoid using the point-to-point link type, as that is intended for full-duplex connections.
