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.
