Configuring Spanning Tree Loop Protect Features
Parameters
port‐string
enable | disable
sid sid
Defaults
If no SID is specified, SID 0 is assumed.
Mode
Switch command, Read‐Write.
Usage
The Loop Protect feature is disabled by default. See "Loop Protect" on page 2. for more
information.
Loop Protect takes precedence over per port STP enable/disable (portAdmin). Normally
portAdmin disabled would cause a port to go immediately to forwarding. If Loop Protect is
enabled, that port should go to listening and remain there.
Example
This example shows how to enable Loop Protect on fe.2.3:
Matrix(rw)->set spantree lp enable fe.2.3
show spantree lp
Use this command to display the Loop Protect status per port and/or per SID.
Syntax
show spantree lp [port port-string] [sid sid]
Parameters
port‐string
sid sid
Defaults
If no port‐string is specified, status is displayed for all ports.
