4.2.10.5 Loopback Detection
Switch Management > STP > Loopback Detection page is used to configure loopback detection on an interface. When
loopback detection is enabled and a port or group receives its own BPDU, the detection agent drops the loopback BPDU, sends
an SNMP trap, and places the interface in discarding mode. This loopback state can be released manually or automatically. If
the interface is configured for automatic loopback release, then the port will only be returned to the forwarding state if one of the
following conditions is satisfied:
The interface receives any other BPDU except for its own, or;
The interfaces link status changes to link down and then link up again,
or;
The interface ceases to receive its own BPDUs in a forward delay interval.
Interface Displays a list of ports or groups.
Status Enables loopback detection on this interface.
(Default: Enabled)
Trap Enables SNMP trap notification for loopback events on this interface. (Default: Disabled)
