Configuring Loopback Detection Remote-origin LBD Overview
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network Configuration Guide December 2017 page 7-5
In the two systems VC1 and VC2, VC1 has both default LBD and remote origin LBD enabled globally
and at the interface level (3/4). On VC2 only the default LBD is enabled globally and at interface level.
When LBD frame is transmitted from VC2 (1/4) to VC1 (3/4) the remote LBD frame is processed in VC1,
the MAC address of the transmitting system is recorded and the receiving port (3/4) is moved to shut
down.
When LBD frame is transmitted from VC1 (3/1) to VC2 (1/1) the LBD frame is dropped as the remote-
origin LBD is not enabled.
Note. In case, if remote-origin LBD is enabled on both the systems, the system which receives the first
remote LBD frame will shut down the port.
