  • Page 35: Loop Protection

    Loop Protection Loops in a network can consume switch resources and degrade performance. Detecting loops manually can be very cumbersome and time consuming. The HP 1810 series switch software provides an automatic Loop Protection feature. Loop Protection may be enabled or disabled globally and on a port-by-port basis. When enabled globally, the software sends loop protection packets to a reserved layer 2 multicast destination address on all the ports on which the feature is enabled.
  • Page 36 Figure 24 Loop Protection Table 21 Loop Protection Fields Field Description Loop Protection Enable this feature globally. Transmission Time Enter the time interval, in seconds, between sending Loop Protection packets.

  • Page 43: Trunks

    6 Trunks Trunks enable aggregating multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat an aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing capability. You assign the trunk VLAN membership after creating the trunk. A trunk interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both.

  • Page 44: Trunk Modes

    Table 25 Trunk Configuration Fields (continued) Field Description Mode Mode (static or dynamic) configured for the trunk. Port Members Select the trunk membership for a port. By default, no ports belong to any trunk. A grayed out port indicates that it has been configured for port mirroring (destination or source port), or that it is set to half duplex.

  • Page 45: Static Trunk Mode

    Removing a port from a trunk can create a loop and cause a broadcast storm. When you remove a port from a trunk where spanning tree is not in use, HP recommends that you first disable the port or disconnect the link on that port.
