LBD Configuration
The switch can be configured to detect general loopback conditions caused by
hardware problems or faulty protocol settings. When loopback detection (LBD) is
enabled, a control frame is transmitted on the participating ports, and the switch
monitors inbound traffic to see if the frame is looped back.
Usage Guidelines
The default settings for the control frame transmit interval and recover time
may be adjusted to improve performance for your specific environment. The
shutdown mode may also need to be changed once you determine what kind
of packets are being looped back.
When a loopback event is detected on an interface or when a interface is
released from a shutdown state caused by a loopback event, a trap message is
sent and the event recorded in the system log.
Loopback detection must be enabled both globally and on an interface for
loopback detection to take effect.
