Loopback Detection (LBD) provides protection against loops by transmitting loop protocol
packets out of ports on which loop protection has been enabled. When the switch sends out a
loop protocol packet, and then receives the same packet, it shuts down the port that received
the packet.
Loopback Detection operates independently of STP. After a loop is discovered, the port that
received the loops is placed in the Shut Down state. A trap is sent and the event is logged.
Network managers can define a Detection Interval that sets the time interval between LBD
packets.
The following loop cases can be detected by the Loopback Detection protocol:
• Shorted wire—Port that loop backs all receiving traffic.
