This state must be enabled along with the Status field at the top of the page
before this feature can be active on the selected port.
•
Disabled: This selection disables the Loopback Detection feature on the
selected port.
•
Note: In the All row when you select Enable or Disable instead of Ignore, the
selection applies to all of the Switch ports.
Next to each entry modified, under the Action column, click Apply to save the changes.
4. At the bottom of the left hand panel, click Save.
5. Select the Config you would like to save the settings to, then click Save Settings to
Flash.

switch is rebooted or power cycled, the configuration changes will still be applied.
