5.2.10 Loop Detection

Function name: Loop Detection Configuration

Function description: The loop detection is used to detect the presence of traffic. When a packet’s looping detection frame is received by the switch and has a MAC address the same as its own from a port, loop detection occurs. The port will be locked when it receives the looping detection frames. To resume the locked port, delete the looping path, then select “Unlock port” and click on “Apply” to turn on the locked ports.

Parameter description:

Mode: Controls whether Loop Detection is enabled (as a whole).

Unlock Time: The period (in seconds) for which a port will be kept disabled if a loop is detected (and the port shuts down).
