Usage Guidelines
Loop guard provides additional security in the bridge network. Loop guard prevents alternate or root ports
from becoming the designated port due to a failure that could lead to a unidirectional link.
Loop guard operates only on ports that are considered point-to-point by the spanning tree.
The individual loop-guard port configuration overrides this command.
