Usage Guidelines
Loop Guard provides additional security in the bridge network. Loop Guard prevents alternate or root
ports from becoming the designated port because of a failure that could lead to a unidirectional link.
Loop Guard operates only on ports that are considered point-to-point links by the spanning tree, and it
does not run on spanning tree edge ports.
Entering the Loop Guard command, spanning-tree guard loop, for the specified interface overrides this
global Loop Guard command.
Examples
