action on the interface.

Setting the loop detection interval

With loop detection enabled, the switch sends loop detection frames at a specified interval. A shorter
interval offers more sensitive detection but consumes more resources. Consider the system performance
and loop detection speed when you set the loop detection interval.
To set the loop detection interval:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Set the loop detection interval.

Displaying and maintaining loop detection

Execute display commands in any view.
Task
