Setting Loopback Detection for an Ethernet Port

Loopback detection is used to monitor if loopback occurs on a port.

After you enable loopback detection on Ethernet ports, the device can monitor if external loopback
occurs on them. If there is a loopback port found, the device will put it under control.

z

If loopback is found on an access port, the system disables the port, sends a Trap message to the
client and removes the corresponding MAC forwarding entry.

z

If loopback is found on a trunk or hybrid port, the system sends a Trap message to the client. When
the loopback port control function is enabled on these ports, the system disables the port, sends a
Trap message to the client and removes the corresponding MAC forwarding entry.

Follow these steps to set loopback detection for an Ethernet port:
