Description
Use the stp loop-protection command to enable loop protection function.
Use the undo stp loop-protection command to restore the default setting.
By default, the loop protection function is not enabled.
The port configured with loop protection can only turn into discarding state on
every instance. When such port receives no configuration message for a long time,
only the port role changes, its discarding state remains unchanged, so no packets
are forwarded. In this way, if the peer end cannot send BPDU packets due to error
operation, and the port enters forwarding state directly for not receiving
configuration message for a long time, no loop will be generated by enabling the
loop protection.
CAUTION: If the equipment connected to the port of the switch cannot send STP
packets to the switch, do not configure the loop-protection command;
otherwise the port will be congested for a long time.
