Usage Guidelines Loop guard provides an additional security in the bridge network. Loop guard prevents alternate or root ports
from becoming the designated port because of a failure leading to a unidirectional link.
Loop guard operates only on ports that are considered point-to-point by the spanning tree.
Individual loop-guard port configuration overrides this global default.
