Protection packet from the switch can be shut down for a configurable With any of the portsвЂ™ MAC addresses as the source, the switchДetermines that a loop has occurred. If this multicast packet comes back to the switch Transmission of the packet can be disabled selectively onД¬ertain ports, even when Loop Protection is enabled. Globally, the software sends loop protection packets to a reserved layerДў multicast destination address on all the ports on which the feature Loop Protection is enabledДЄnd disabled globally and on a port-by-port basis. With an automatic Loop Protection feature. The ProCurve 1810GG switch software is equipped Q: What is the difference between STP and Loop Protection? You can do the same thing with spanning tree, but usually spanning tree looks at inter-switch links, but it's been awhile and I could be missing something there.

I forget at the moment but it's somewhere around 15 or 30 seconds I want to say, but rapid picks up in about 3 to 5 seconds.Д®ither way, I would take a switch and test it maybe during a time when nobody would freak out, flip on loop protection, attach to the switch with a console cable, then take a patch and connect to two ports on the same switch to try and anger it, watching logs to see how it behaves. I would suggest using rapid spanning tree (RSPT), because if you lose or unplug one of the redundant links, recovery for the blocked link to assume root/designated function is much quicker than regular IEEE spanning tree. Unsure if this is the same as spanning tree, but having spanning tree on is good, especially if you want redundant links between your switches. In terms of the loop protection though, this might be what you're looking for as per your question, because by the sound of it, it would detect if someone took a wire and connected things to make a loop, detect the loop and shut something down to keep the loop from killing the entire network. Not sure what loop protection does, but sounds similar to spanning tree.
