spanning-tree
loopback-detection
release-mode
This command configures the release mode for a port that was placed in the
discarding state because a loopback BPDU was received. Use the no form to restore
the default.
Syntax
spanning-tree loopback-detection release-mode
{auto | manual}
no spanning-tree loopback-detection release-mode
auto - Allows a port to automatically be released from the discarding state
when the loopback state ends.
manual - The port can only be released from the discarding state manually.
Default Setting
auto
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
â—† If the port is configured for automatic loopback release, then the port will only
be returned to the forwarding state if one of the following conditions is
satisfied:
â–
The port receives any other BPDU except for it’s own, or;
â–
The port’s link status changes to link down and then link up again, or;
â–
The port ceases to receive it’s own BPDUs in a forward delay interval.
◆ If Port Loopback Detection is not enabled and a port receives it’s own BPDU,
then the port will drop the loopback BPDU according to IEEE Standard 802.1W-
2001 9.3.4 (Note 1).
â—† Port Loopback Detection will not be active if Spanning Tree is disabled on the
switch.
â—† When configured for manual release mode, then a link down / up event will not
release the port from the discarding state. It can only be released using the
spanning-tree loopback-detection release command.
Example
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5
