Configure Layer 2 loop protection
Loops inside a network are costly because they consume resources and reduce the
performance of the network. Detecting loops manually can be cumbersome.
The switch can automatically identify loops in the network. You can enable loop protection
per port or globally.
If loop protection is enabled, the switch sends predefined PDU packets to a Layer 2
broadcast destination address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF) on all ports for which the feature is
enabled. You can selectively disable PDU packet transmission for loop protection on specific
ports even while port loop protection is enabled. If the switch receives a packet with the
previously mentioned broadcast destination address, the source MAC address in the packet
is compared with the MAC address of the switch. If the MAC address does not match, the
packet is forwarded to all ports that are members of the same VLAN, just like any other
broadcast packet. The packet is not forwarded to the port from which it was received.
